Does your heart skip a beat, when you catch a whiff of Parmigiano Reggiano?
Do you often dream of swimming in a pool of melted brie?

Cooking for Cheese Lovers is the ultimate cooking class for those that share an obsession with the gooey, stinky, creamy and salty delicacy.

The Cheese School of San Francisco: 2155 Powell Street, 2nd Floor

You’ll watch in amazement as The Cheese School of San Francisco cheese instructor Wil Edwards shows you how to make fresh a ricotta cheese. With your fellow cheesemates, you’ll taste and discuss your way through a bevy of local and artisan cheeses hand-picked by the Cheese School’s team of experts.

More gooey fun ensues as you step into the kitchen with us for a hands-on cooking lesson, where you’ll learn to make positively cheesey gourmet appetizers dreamed up by Parties That Cook’s chefs. Each savory morsel is designed with a unique cheese profile in-mind:

Crostini of Homemade Ricotta and Red Bell Pepper Jam
Cabrales Phyllo Purses with Sherry-Raisin Dipping Sauce
Endive with Caramelized Onions, Apricot Jam and Cowgirl Creamery Red Hawk
Crab and Shrimp Quesadillas with Pumpkin Seed Salsa and Cotija
Mini Sliders with Smoky Cheddar
Goat Cheese Amaretti Cake with Pomegranate Glazed Raspberries

Once the cooking class is over, relax and enjoy the appetizers you’ve made with… what else, but WINE! The ultimate bi-fecta of culinary ecstacy. We’ll also send you home with digital photos and recipes from your decadent evening affair.
