Disclaimer: In these workshops I will discuss the slaughtering and butchering of young livestock, and the use of their stomachs to make rennet. I will use animal rennet to make cheese, and possibly discuss or demonstrate the use of plant coagulants such as thistle. It is a major part of my philosophy that there is no vegetarian milk or cheese. If you are uncomfortable with these topics, maybe the workshops are not for you.
