As my wife and I had already enjoyed the Italian bread course, it was time to delve into the world of sourdough bread. The class was very informative, conducted at a relaxed pace with five classmates with varying experiences. Rachel is a great teacher, and the day is very relaxed and includes a delicious lunch. You also take home all your baking. Next up, French bread?

I attended the Great British Breads course yesterday, it was such an amazing day. The class was really fun & informative, I went to improve my skills and learnt so much. The class was really inclusive as there were bakers of all skills there and Rachael made it accessible for everyone. Rachael's knowledge is superb and she's an excellent teacher. This was a really enjoyable day and I'm looking forward to doing more courses with Rachael, and taking home more delicious bread to impress friends ...

Can't recommend Rachael and the classes she ru...

I’ve now been out to buy ingredients so I can carry on baking at home , using the recipes Rachael emailed over a day later. Not only was the day instructive and interestin...

This was a birthday gift and my first every cookery course. It was a wonderful, relaxing day learning about Italian bread baking. Rachael is warm and welcoming and it was lovely to leave with plenty of lovely bread to take home (plus we had a lovely lunch!) I'd recommend for novice and more experienced bakers alike :)
