Impress the guests at your next holiday gathering by bringing or serving made-from-scratch Mozzarella cheese, made by you!
Yes you read that correctly. Now you can make your own Mozzarella Cheese in your very own kitchen by using Chef Jasper Mirabile’s Mozzarella Theater Kit and it could not be easier.
I attended an event at the beautiful new Portfolio Kitchen and Design Center where Chef Jasper demonstrated how easy it was to make home made Mozzarella. The kit includes everything you need. All you add is milk.
All specific instructions are included in the kit and below is a basic recap of how it made.
Step one: Mix together milk and rennet tablet (included) to specified temperature per directions. (Thermometer included in kit)
Step two: Once curds are set, drain the curds using cheesecloth (included)
Step three: Take Curds and work them with some warm water. They will melt together and form a silky cheese. Stretch until smooth and form into ball.
Step four: Slice and eat!
It was really that simple and very delicious!

I have whole list of things I am needing to write about that have happened over the past few weeks but just not had the time. I am trying to get back on track and am going to start with most recent first!
Last night my husband and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary at bluestem in Westport, which is the perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion. I have been a fan of bluestem since the start of this blog and have enjoyed the special holiday tea bluestem offers during the holidays, their late night happy hour, summer bbq and just hanging out in the lounge.
This dinner was my first experience in the dining room and the meal was absolutely amazing. Chefs Colby and Megan Garrelts are so talented and have even taken over the kitchen at Trezo Vino in Leawood.
Dinner started with an amazing Amuse Bouche that consisted of a Sunchoke Panna Cotta, Potato Soup and I do not remember what little nugget of goodness was in the middle, but it was delicious as were the other items.
The dining room at bluestem offers three, five and ten course meals. We each went for the five course and my choices included:
Fall Greens with Goat Cheese, Sunflower Granola and a Bacon Sherry Vinaigrette
Chestnut Soup with Pomegranate, Toasted Pecan, Micro Greens
Campo Lindo Hen with local Beau Solais Farm Mushrooms
Duroc Pork with Rancho Gordo Beans
Spiced Pumpkin Pudding Cake
As you can see the food presentation is breathtakingly beautiful. This dinner was absolutely amazing and definitely lives up to all the buzz that surrounds bluestem and reinforces all of the James Beard nominations Chef Colby has received.
As you know the use of local ingredients and being locally owned is a passion of mine. This combined with the exquiste food and exceptional service makes bluestem a must for anyone wanting a memorable dining experience.
