Cheese making and cookery classes, demonstrations and hands-on cooking and baking for small or corporate groups or clubs who would like to engage in different activities.

Classes take place at 252 Hamurana road, Omokoroa, Tauranga, but also at other venues on invitation – for groups. The Katikati Community Resource Centre includes some classes in their cookery program, of which Cheese making, the Mad Millie way, has been one of the most popular.

Carolie qualified as a dietician and over the years activities included running a cookery school, lecturing to hospitality and consumer science students and writing cookery books. The aim has always been to teach home and professional cooks to prepare food that is trendy but also wholesome, using fresh local supplies which fit into the budget and time available for food preparation. All classes and cheese making fit perfectly into the specs of this framework.
