Culinary Demo | Cheese! | Guest Chef Maggie Perkins

Location: Lake Kitchen

September 17, 2021, 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm

Learn to make Homemade Ricotta cheese for next-level appetizers, snacks, the best pastas, and more. In this fun and informative demo, learn the tips, tricks, ingredients and skills required to make your own.

When food writer, urban farmer and culinary instructor Maggie Perkins isn’t preparing seasonal dishes on the fly at local farmer’s markets, you might find her at a backwoods barbecue joint in Mississippi, comparing char-grilled oysters in the Big Easy, or trading food folklore with a fishmonger on the coast. Her true north is in her home kitchen, puttering about, spinning vintage vinyl, perfecting her creole cooking techniques, and developing recipes she shares in print and with the lucky students she teaches both on-line and in intimate in-person classes.
