NEW SPRING WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS 🌸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have just released a series of Classic Sourdough Workshops that are suitable for beginners.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are going to be held in small and focussed groups of 4 in the heart of the English countryside, giving you another chance to visit our lovely school and immerse yourself in sourdough. And the first one is our Classic Sourdough Workshop – Spring.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A combination of making and learning, you’ll spend a busy 4 days trying your hand at a range of bakes, including a classic 80% hydration boule, a sourdough tin loaf and an ambient fermented cake or pie. Primarily a school, much of the workshop also explores the science behind what you are baking, the nutritional value of your bread and its relationship to the gut. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our workshops always leave students wanting more, so a 12-month membership to The Sourdough Club, a workbook and a signed copy of The Sourdough School book is also included.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Spring Workshop runs from 24th- 28th February 2020, the perfect time for you to replenish your skillset and learn something new. To book your spot, hit the link in our bio today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO DURING MY VISIT TO THE RURAL ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE? 🌲
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are SO lucky to be situated where we are. Surrounded by pubs, farm shops, stately homes and a tremendous number of beautiful walks, a visit to The Sourdough School isn’t just about baking delicious bread. During your stay here, there’ll be plenty of ‘downtime’ outside of workshop hours for you to explore the area and immerse yourself in the magical rural countryside that’s all around.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are just a few of our favourite places to visit:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 Cottesbrooke Hall & Gardens was one of the houses owned by Queen Anne and is now home to the Macdonald-Buchanan family. You can tour the hall or take a stroll in their beautiful grounds, complete with statues, a pool and a Dutch garden.
🌱 Pitsford Reservoir is on our doorstep, with a 7-mile bike trail if you’re feeling energetic. Hire a bike and venture deep into Brampton Valley Way. You can even do a spot of fishing here as well.
🌱 The Artichoke is the perfect place to finish off a day of adventuring. The closest pub to the school, enjoy freshly cooked food using local produce and get cosy in their Grade II listed building dating back to 1680.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keen to bake bread and explore the above? Then don't miss one out attending one of our 2020 Sourdough workshops. Spots are limited, so click the link in bio and secure yours today!

How can I eat sustainably?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We sometimes forget that before food reaches your plate, it has had a whole life of its own. It is so easy to pop along to the supermarket, gathering ingredients for the week ahead all pre-packaged, never thinking about where the food you are buying has been and who it’s been in contact with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As talk of the environment increases, so do our conversations about ethical and sustainably sourced food. And it can get confusing… trying to eat in a way that benefits producers and does as little harm to the environment as possible!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In her second book ‘Food for Thought’, @Vanessakimbell takes readers on a journey into a more sustainable approach to food. Through classic recipes with an ethical twist, she presents an insight into the way food is sourced and easy ways you can make sure the food you cook can be environmentally-friendly AND tastes good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book won an award in the World Book Awards for the most ethical and sustainable book and was the @Telegraph's book of the month.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Described as “simple, unfussy and easy to cook at home – making everyday classics ethical and sustainable,” definitely check out these recipes if you haven’t already. As Vanessa gets busier with writing for her fourth book (🙌) looking back on her previous work gets us even more excited for the next.
