Our first time working with fresh yeast. It has a shorter shelf life, needs to be refrigerated, and harder to find in America. Some say bread tastes better with fresh yeast, but in our humble opinion bread always tastes good no matter what.

Have you ever made homemade butter? Did you know it’s super easy to make? It’s literally one ingredient: heavy cream. Or two if you count the pinch of salt. Just whisk the heavy cream either by hand (yes it’s not too hard to do, we did it this way!) or if you’re pressed for time by using an electric mixer. Just mix until the fat separates from the buttermilk, and voila you have delicious homemade butter. It’s so good, you can really taste the richness and flavor of the cream. And what can you do with the leftover buttermilk? Pancakes of course! Private wine and cheese tasting in the commercial kitchen.
