My husband and I had the most amazing day learning how to make bread. One of the best cooking experience days I’ve been on. Such an intimate and informative experience. Highly recommend. Now we have to figure out how we are going to eat and store all the bread we made!!

A fabulous course in a beautiful environment and with an excellent teacher. Helen is an excellent teacher and walks you through each and every step of how to make sourdough the right way. I wish I had come there first rather than watch you tube videos. I could have save a lot of time and frustration. With an excellent breakfast and lunch included this course is graat value.
