A Slow Food Sunday




Making mozzarella

Today some members of Slow Food Waitakere group meet for a mozzarella making workshop at the Gourmet Gannet. If you like to see more photos please click here, and if you like to read Allison's mozzarella recipe you can find it by clicking here. Thank you Allison for hosting the event and sharing your recipe :-).


Conviviality


After making mozzarella we all went for lunch at the Tasting Shed on State Highway 16, it was a lovely day out, the sun was almost warm, and the Tasting Shed was a good discovery. 


All serious about our food!

    Bellissimo questo incontro Slow Food....Ho letto solo oggi che in ValSesia ci sarebbe stato il mercatino Slow Food più "alto" in Italia, si svolgeva al Passo dei Salati a 2971 m...mi sarebbe piaciuto un sacco parteciparvi...

    @ Dana, beh, direi abbastanza normale se sei in un gruppo eco-gastronomico :-).

    @ Artu', che meraviglia, sarei andata volentieri anch'io, mi piace la montagna e chissa' che formaggi di malga che avevano li', e poi magari miele, frutti di bosco... chissa'... posso solo immaginare :-).

    I didn't know what a gannet was... It's sula in Italian, I actually didn't know anything about this bird... You never stop learning! Great pics!
    PS. By the way, how do you pronounce Waitakere?

    Yari, Waitekere si pronuncia Uatakeri e se vuoi vedere i gannets vai qui

    Che belle queste foto. E quello stile per apparecchiare la tavola mi è sempre piaciuto tanto. Vado a sbirciare la ricetta per fare la mozzarella, mi incuriosisce un sacco :) Un bacione

    That looks like a really fun day (and tasty!). I'm trying to start going to more cheese making days with people as you can learn so much.

    I'm so impressed at how your mozzarella turned out! (We have failed miserably when we've tried to make it.)

    ...found this post via your BW Wednesday photo of mozzarella
