July 27th - international brunch

On sunday morning we wanted to invit the people from the village and those who helped us in the preparation of the camp to say Thank you for your support.



Therefore we prepared an international brunch where we offered that food we made byself during the week and prepared special food from our guest countries as well as country presentations of all participants.



























July 26th - workshop: bread



Next to our two visits to the bakery "Mühlenbäckerei Schüller" in Brecht where everybody made his own bread we had also a workshop where we made baguettes and special types of bread.

July 26th - workshop: milk

The day before on the farm we saw where the milk comes from.
But today we learned what to make with milk in addition to drink it.



In a first and very long step we tried to seperate the cream from the milk. Therefore we put the milk one night in the fridge in very flat bowls.
The next day we siphoned the cream from the top of the milk.



That cream we used to make our own butter. Just mixed it or shakes it until the cream is getting corny and hard.



The rest of the milk we used to make a curd cheese. We heated the low-fat milk for several hours to 32° and then it became stiffly.



Now we just had to sieve it and we had a wonderful curd cheese that we also mixed with fresh fruits...



Really good food for our international brunch!
