Say Cheese Festival 2016
A cheese lover's paradise.
Overview
On Saturday, October 22, Prahran Market will host the Say Cheese Festival. For uninitiated (or those who didn't attend last year's debut event), it's essentially an entire day of eating cheese (and buying even more to eat later), featuring free cheese tastings, cheesy dish demonstrations, and stalls from cheese providores.
Throughout the day, renowned chefs will take over the kitchen to demonstrate cooking techniques using cheese, including mozzarella stretching and how to make Brazilian cheese puffs.
Once their demonstrations have your mouth watering, head to the Cheesy Pop-Up Precinct for lunch – perhaps some charcoal gnocchi with gorgonzola from 48 Hours Pizzeria and Gnoccheria, mac 'n' cheese from Meatmaiden or wood fired margherita pizzas from A25 Pizzeria? If none of those tickle your fancy, there will also be offerings from Professeur Crepe, That Arancini Guy, Wicked Spud and Raw Trader, who'll satisfy even non-dairy-eating cheese lovers with their raw vegan cheese.
If you're not too full from all of that, the traders are also offering food to take home or eat there. Some of the highlights include Noisette's croque monsieur, twice-baked goats' cheese soufflés from Kook's Kitchen, and Fritz Gelato's four cheese-inspired gelato flavours, including lemon cheesecake. There will also be many, many cheese plates.
