At Cook Culture, one of the great things about the store and cook shop is having customers that are as passionate about cooking as we are. We spend each day helping people find just the right kitchen gear- everything from setting someone up with the right knife, recommending the perfect sized fry pan or a kitchen gadget that someone never knew could make cooking so easy.

A magical moment was captured during one of Linda Michaluk's cheese-making classes this past fall. While Linda and  chef Mara Jernigan were demonstrating how easy it is to make fresh cheeses such as ricotta and mozzarella at home... Mara broke out the Mozza Knot. You can also see how it's done in Italy but Mara's way is much, much easier to follow.
