I can't praise the tuition at the RedBeard sourdough baking workshops highly enough. Since I returned home, I have not bought any bread made with industrial yeast but have had the pleasure of baking sourdough bread to be proud of. Thank you.
Judith, workshop participant 2012
The entire day from start to finish was a great experience. I learnt so much about the science and art of bread making, that I cannot stop talking about it. A real turning point in my life.
Deb, workshop participant 2012
The format of the course was well structured... you managed to fit a plethora of useful information into the day. The refreshments and lunch were outstanding!
Daniel, workshop participant 2011
Thanks for the great workshop. I found it to be a perfect mix of history, science, practice and fun, and my life is richer for my new-found passion for bread baking!
