Description: 

Are you curious about tasty dairy-free “cheeses”? Have you given up dairy and miss eating cheese? 

Then this class is for you!

You will learn to make delicious “cheese” with healthy, dairy-free alternatives. We will use whole food ingredients such as nuts, spices and fresh herbs to create ‘cheezy’ texture with wonderfully unique flavours. 

In this hands-on class you will prepare a variety of small samples from a base recipe, as well as enjoy a tasting of pre-made “cheese” together. You will walk away with helpful tips and easy recipes you can use to continue your dairy-free “cheese-making” at home. 

 You’ll have everything you need to satisfy your cheese cravings! 

Please contact workshopsber@cityplot.org for more information, and mention the workshop you are interested in the subject line.

Delia is a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert originally from Toronto, Canada and currently living in Berlin, Germany. She has a degree in Urban Planning and a master’s in Public Policy, and has worked on improving the environments around her, with the goal of making communities more liveable and sustainable. Delia’s passion for good food and her journey into the world of culinary nutrition stems from the emphasis on delicious homemade food in her Italian family, and the effects of food in her personal health struggles. Becoming a Culinary Nutrition Expert has given her a deeper understanding of the connection between food and the power it has to help build health, as well as to destroy it. She uses her expertise to demonstrate how to prepare delicious food which is healthy, seasonal and easy to make. Sharing knowledge on the health benefits of the foods we use plays an important part in the process. She believes that learning about where our food comes from, how it’s grown, prepared and consumed are all integral to building our health.

Delia’s approach is informative and fun! It’s all about learning and cooking together. It’s hands-on  -combining wholesome food and simple know-how with a whole lot of good energy, and the passion to pass it on!

Leonie has a background in architecture, the fine arts and permaculture. Since having left her family’s off-grid homestead and extensive garden in small-town South Australia, she has lived amongst the urban populations of Australia, Germany, the US and the Netherlands. Her theoretical research in restoration ecology in the cultural sector, undertaken as part of studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, triggered her to initiate Cityplot in 2007. She co-coordinates the workshop programme and gardens in Berlin. 

Leonie has many years of experience teaching and consulting in multiple facets of permaculture: food growing systems; community building and social systems; architecture, urban and landscape planning; natural building and construction with upcycled materials; nature connections and spiritual ecology; holistic and regenerative practices on all levels; and beyond. Life coming full-cycle, step-by-step she nears a self-sufficient lifestyle and delves ever deeper into the worlds of ethnobotany and deep ecology.

Leonie strongly believes that there is not a problem, which cannot be solved through tapping into the heartbeat of the Earth - and that even the smallest of garden plots will help get you there!
