For the parents/grandparents
Because old people have nothing better to do.
Splurge: A three-day cheesemaking workshop at Three Shepherds Cheese in Vermont for $550 (£330 + ticket to Vermont, if appropriate), where they'll learn to make seven different types of cheese and all about aging, marketing, as well as selling cheese, pairing it with wine, cheese appreciation, and more. One-day cheesemaking classes are $150 (£90). Workshops are held on various dates from May through October. Go to threeshepherdscheese.com for more info.
Save: For a mere £8/$13, you can keep your folks busy all year long with Self-Sufficiency Cheesemaking (New Holland Publishers, 2009) by Rita Ash. This handy, easy-to-follow book featuring twenty-odd recipes for everything from Camembert to Halloumi to cottage cheese provides all the tips, tricks and tools the novice needs to turn their home into a cheese-producing wonderland. For the more ambitious, there's even a section with advice on how to sell your cheese.
