In this hands-on class, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of making homemade ricotta cheese from scratch. Chef Josh Plesh of Timber, a seasoned professional with a passion for fresh, simple ingredients, will begin by providing a brief overview of the history and origins of ricotta before delving into the cooking. Once the ricotta is made, it’s time to elevate the flavor! We will use an array of accouterments to enhance your ricotta, including fresh herbs (such as basil, thyme, and rosemary), a drizzle of honey, and perhaps a touch of sea salt. You can add lemon zest, garlic, or even crushed red pepper for savory variations for a kick. You’ll experiment with various combinations to see how the ricotta can be transformed into a sweet or savory treat.
