Making breads, cheeses, and homemade pastas are all skills that are really not a necessity in our modern world, but they are very satisfying. Creating something delicious yourself, that you and your friends and family can enjoy, is always rewarding and fun.

Baking your own whole grain and sourdough breads can be an inexpensive way to add great taste AND better nutrition into your meals. In addition, sourdough bread has a low glycemic index and and helps keep your blood sugar and insulin levels lower.

Home cheesemaking can range from very simple to time-consuming and complex — depending on what cheese you want to make. Fresh cheeses such as ricotta and mozzarella are fun and easy to learn. “Hard” cheeses are harder, and take a bit longer to learn but can be quite rewarding.

Making your own pasta allows you to use the healthiest ingredients to make nutritious and delicious meals for your family and friends: whole grain pastas and pastas infused with healthy greens are all possible!
