Well I am still working on the new book, however I have taken a few days to plan ahead and add a new 2 day introduction courses for the rest of this year and 2027. This course is very much centred around the new book, gut health and understanding how to bake for health. The book is scheduled to be published in February 2027.

You are invited to attend two relaxed, unhurried days sourdough bread course with me, Dr Vanessa Kimbell, Libiana Kimbell and Helene Cotter, teaching assistant.  The Proven Bread Programme is the foundation of my work at the school. It teaches people to bake, eat, and share bread — not as theory, but as a living, working system. It is what I do every day and this approach is grounded in the research from my doctorate for bread that nourishes your gut microbiome and supports mental health. 

Taught in small tutorial groups

You will learn how our staple Meadow Blend flour is milled fresh, incorporating fresh herbs from the garden. . The kitchen is in constant motion. You can simply sit and read in the  library with bread books going back 500 years, or read any of 700+ research papers in my office printed and filed to browse. I’ll be baking some bread that has been fermenting overnight, making simple soups and salads. These are  slow creative days.

Unhurried conversations over lunch, and time for a snooze on the sofa is part of the day. Our dough is shaped by hand, and loaves are pulled from the oven and eaten warm with our lunch made from produce grown in the kitchen garden. Preserves, pickles and ferments are made from whatever is in season and abundant in the garden that morning. Recipe testing, photography, and conversation is part of the rhythm.

This is the in person Proven Bread Programme, lived in real time. Spaces are limited. If you require a particular date I recommend booking early as short courses dates get filled very quickly.

Kindest regards

Dr Vanessa Kimbell
