Would you like to be able to bake some fresh sourdough for all your family and friends over the festive period?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's still time to learn the basics.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you've got a delicious fresh loaf of white sourdough bread in mind, you can now order a complete white sourdough kit ready to order in our online shop, so it’s never been easier to try your hand at baking beautiful sourdough bread.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each kit contains just about everything you’ll need to get started, including a French white starter that @vanessakimbell herself has been using since the age of 11. It produces the sweetest loaf, almost yoghurt-like in flavour, and comes alongside a ceramic Kilner jar, sourdough cards, instruction, flour and the optional addition of a signed copy of our book.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can step up your learning too - book onto a course in the new year to take your baking to the next level or sign up to @sourdoughclub for our online learning video masterclasses.

Dark chocolate.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A favourite of many with a sweet tooth. Velvety, smooth, rich, bittersweet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only is it a delight to indulge in, but it's also one of many foods that include polyphenols, which are vital to a healthy gut and the perfect inclusion in your sourdough.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can also find Polyphenols in foods such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, tea, coffee and wine. They are also in grain and are more prevalent in darker varieties of grain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@vanessakimbell has studied many articles on antioxidants and continues to do so as part of her PhD in Bread and Digestion.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can read some of Vanessa's findings on Polyphenols on the website as well as dive deep into the many articles with information and explanations of the benefits and nutritional advantages of baking sourdough. Go to www.sourdough.co.uk.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When @Vanessakimbell was nine, her parents bought a house in rural south-west France. Vanessa’s Italian mother loved good food and was a senior chef at Keele University and both her English grandmother and Italian great-grandmother were bakers. The house was just 60 yards away from the thriving rural French village bakery. The bakery supplied all the bread for miles around and was right the heart of the community. She was just nine years old and she fell in love with everything French – the wine, the cheese, the fresh fruit and vegetables, the farmers, and the local markets, but most of all...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...she fell in love with the bread.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Read founder of The Sourdough School, @vanessakimbell's, full story on the website www.sourdough.co.uk and learn the art of sourdough bread from Vanessa herself on one of our workshops in 2020.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"I feel so privileged to have been shown not just how to make fantastic bread but the principles behind it and with a journey into understanding so much more about digestion and healthy eating. Vanessa is a great teacher - she is passionate, affectionate and demands your attention." - Christine, L.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
