&ldquo;All these cheeses can be made at home. For instance, mascarpone is an Italian drained cheese made by splitting cream with the action of an acid, like citric acid. The resulting creamy cheese is thick and high in fat, making it an essential ingredient in Italian desserts like tiramisu, or in creamy sauces for pasta. Mozzarella will play a key role in the class, as it is one of the tougher cheeses to make,&rdquo; says Raghavan, who will provide mozzarella-making starter kits to guests.
He will also teach a variety of cheese-based dishes like Caprese (an Italian salad featuring fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil), Ricotta Gnudi (gnocchi) in brown butter-sage-lemon sauce, Fried Okra and Curry Leaves Cream Cheese Crostini and the classic Cream Cheese Tart.
