We have put in place measures to make our classes as safe as possible so you can relax and have a great time.

If you have an allergy/intolerance please get in touch with us before booking this class by emailing cookery@vegsoc.org.

Learn how to make your own delicious vegan cheeses. In this class you’ll discover how to make soft cheeses, hard cheeses and even vegan cheese that melts! We will teach you when and how to use cheesecloths, and show you how to mix up your base with cashews, coconut, almonds or tofu. You’ll also master flavourings with herbs, chilli, black pepper and much more, for really tasty results.

Recipes you’re likely to make include:

Smokey Cashew Nut Vegan Cheddar
Vegan Mozzarella
Soft Almond Cheese
Vegan Italian style Hard Cheese

Above recipes are subject to availability of ingredients.

You’ll be able to make the recipes you learn on this class at home, time and time again. After your cookery experience, you will be emailed a pack for you to keep containing all of the recipes you learned on the day.

What to expect…

Lots of food: Firstly, you can expect to eat a lot of delicious food! It will come as no surprise that there will be lots made, so you will be nibbling and tasting throughout your cookery experience. (Don’t worry about bringing anything to eat with you!)

A relaxed, hands-on experience, suitable for all abilities: Our cookery experiences will help you hone your skills in a fun and friendly atmosphere. You’ll dive right in with hands-on practical cookery sessions. This will include working  in pairs, groups and individually under the expert guidance of our experienced tutor. We welcome students of all abilities, so whatever your current skill level, you’ll fit right in. And you don’t have to be veggie to enjoy our courses – everyone’s welcome!

The chance to ask tons of questions: Attendee numbers are kept small so you’ll have maximum contact with your tutor. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to ask any questions you may have and take advantage of their years of experience in all things veggie and vegan!

Getting here: We have lots of free car parking available on site. If you’re getting here by public transport, we’re only a short taxi ride or a 20-minute walk from Altrincham’s bus, train and Metrolink (Altrincham line) services. Here’s our address: Vegetarian Society Cookery School, Parkdale, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, WA14 4QG.
