BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE NEW BOOK⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A beautiful moment shared between @vanessakimbell and @michaeljamesbakes last year. They were preparing one of the formulas that will be in Vanessa's fourth publication so it could be captured by the wonderful @nassimarothacker. We can't say much more about the formula yet so we've cropped it out. 🤫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you guess what this recipe might be?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure to set your reminders for February 28th - when we'll be releasing a sneak peek of the front cover, opening pre-orders and announcing a competition! 🎉

HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN SOURDOUGH STARTER?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s one of the most frequent things we get asked about at the school… How do I get my sourdough starter going?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it sounds simple. Just 2 ingredients – flour and water – combine to create a sourdough starter. But to really get it going, you need to capture the wild yeasts and bacteria already present in your flour and your home. This requires the use of a good quality, organic flour and an ideal environment for your starter to develop.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bread has no boundaries. Everyone who wants to bake can do so with very little money and resources. @vanessakimbell has shared a huge number of resources on the www.sourdough.co.uk website to help you with your baking, including a guide to making your own sourdough starter. Step by step instructions take you through the whole process, with a detailed insight into the ideal conditions for your starter to develop.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Patience is key when it comes to starting your starter; there are no fast tracks to its development. Have a read and watch of the video in our ✨‘Getting a Sourdough Starter Going from Scratch’ ✨ article if you’re keen to have a go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, if you’re new to sourdough or want to improve your bakes, then we definitely suggest using an establish starter first. It will be reliable, healthy and help you perfect your baking skills. We sell these in our online shop, but if you sign up for one of our workshops, you’ll receive a starter and lots more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our workshops include baking classes, valuable insights from @Vanessakimbell and access to the latest research around sourdough and the gut microbiome.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find more info via the link in our bio. We have a limited number of student places left in 2020, suitable for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.

HOW YOU MAKE SOMEONE FEEL it’s all that matters in the end. This Miguel, one of the most brilliant scientists I know. Not because he is talking blah blah clever stuff ... but because he connects. He explains in human terms the facts, & the gut microbiome in ways that inspire people to change. I snapped a picture this afternoon of Miguel chatting at the @sourdoughschool with my 12 year old daughter & felt a surge of admiration & affection... remembering being that age and being influenced by the people at my parents kitchen table in ways that are the foundation of who I am today.., because the way you make someone feel is the only thing that someone ever remembers about you.

LET'S TALK
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's exactly what we do when you're here. We learn, we read, we discuss, we chat & we laugh! We laugh so much.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The students on our workshops come to learn sourdough but each group of four students has a different common theme - a passionate interest they want to explore further. We focus our conversations around this and @vanessakimbell directs her teaching towards the common interest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We realised the need for this after we had wonderful groups of passionate students here in 2019 who all had different interests. Everyone was talking about different things. The room buzzed. But can you imagine if it was a room of people that all wanted to talk about the same thing?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can't wait to welcome the next group of students on 2nd March for our Sourdough, Gut Microbiome, Mood & Blood Sugar Management Workshop.

This is the very first of our diversity loaves that we are sharing online - DIVERSITY LOAF USING BLEND NUMBER NO 13.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Outstanding flavour...using this botanical blend really opens your mind. It is one recipe with infinite options." - David Samyn⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week, @Vanessakimbell spent 5 days with an intimate group of 4 students teaching, talking, developing and baking. They focused on sourdough and gut health and crated a beautiful formula.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This loaf uses a combination of @marriagesflour and, the special diverse ingredient, Botanical Blend No. 13.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst she has been teaching this technique at the school for a long time, this is the first time we've shared this online!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⭐ The entire formula and the ingredients behind Blend No. 13 are now available to all @sourdoughclub members (which includes all past @sourdoughschool students). ⭐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'd love you to bake it and let us know your thoughts. ❤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
