Nicola Bailey, a cheesemonger at Eataly in New York City, takes us behind the scenes to demonstrate and explain every tool she uses to prepare and present their famous charcuterie selections. From machetes and industrial meat slicers to mozzarella paddles and harp wires, see everything the pros use day in, day out.
Cheesemaker Rynn Caputo, founder of Caputo Brothers Creamery, demonstrates how to make fresh and aged stretched cheeses in your own kitchen. Stretched (or "pasta filata") cheeses all begin with a curd - heating, stretching, and augmenting it to produce different consistencies, textures, and flavors. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at homemade cheese, Rynn will get you on your way in no time.

Ever wonder what tools top chefs use every day? Bon Appétit asked 20 of NYC’s best chefs to share the essential tools they keep in their knife rolls. From precision knives to unexpected gadgets, find out what these culinary pros can't live without during a busy shift.
In this episode, the kids try 100 years of cheese. Velveeta cheese fudge and peanut butter pickle sandwich dominated the 1920s. The 1930s brought the cream cheese and chopped olive sandwich. Wartime cheese pudding premiered in the '40s. Easy cheese spray (aka cheez whiz) arrived in the '50s. The horseradish cheese ball rolled into the '60s. Fondue debuted in the '70s. Quiche lorraine conquered the '80s. Hot Pockets heated up the '90s. Recently, Raclette cheese and vegan cheese trended.
If you have been carefully crafting your image as a professional party host but haven't made a cheeseball like this... you can't really call yourself a professional.
This quick-to-make crowd-pleaser pairs nicely with practically any cracker.
