If cheese is your thing --- the stinkier, gooier and richer, the better --- then this is the class for you. It combines tastings of European and American cheeses with practical knowledge about cheese: how it is made, different classifications and types, how to buy and store it, and how to compose a cheese plate that will make your dinner guests swoon. Join culinary tour leader Alexandra Leaf, and begin the day at Murray's Cheese for a Cheese 101 talk and tasting. After that, we'll head over to the Abingdon Square Greenmarket to meet the folks at Consider Bardwell Cheeses, one of the nation's most highly rated artisanal cheese producers. We'll then attend a mozzarella-making demo (with a tasting, of course), and end the tour with a light lunch at Beecher's Cheese in the Flatiron district. The class meets at 10 a.m. at Murray's Cheese (254 Bleecker St., between Sixth and Seventh avenues).
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

Once you've gotten the basics down, you will try your hand at: sushi rice; maki and futomaki rolls (both thin and thick), inside-out rolls; nigiri and temaki (hand roll).. You will soon learn that sushi is something you too can master.
