CUESA Cheese Festival

The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is dedicating a day to the appreciation and consumption of our region's rich and diverse cheeses. The non-profit educational organization, which organizes the farmers' market, the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA), will host several activities on April 7 in its teaching kitchen in the north arcade of the Ferry Building. From 10:30 - 11:00 am enjoy a conversation with artisan cheesemaker Soyoung Scanlan of Andante Dairy. At 11:00 am there will be a cooking demonstration by Laura Werlin, author of three cookbooks on the subject of cheese, including The New American Cheese, where you can learn to make California grilled cheese sandwiches. From 11 am - 1 pm the CUESA culinary staff will offer $4 cheese plates composed by Laura Werlin featuring three cheeses from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Attendance at the talk and cooking demonstration is free.
