BREAD MAKING COURSES

We are delighted to be back for some autumn bread-making classes. Our first date next date is November 9th - only a couple of places left As usual, we will be at the St Bridget's Centre, making four different sourdough loaves, plus a pot of starter, to take home. Our informal, hands on classes last from 1-6pm, with a tea break for a freshly baked fruit loaf and soft drinks. Come and join our baking session, learning new skills for a relaxing (and busy!) afternoon. A second (provisional) date for November 9th will be firmed up shortly.

Down to Cornwall, I dropped in early to see wood-fired oven baking at St Kew Harvest Farm Shop (google "real bread finder")

While down on a break, I found the Harvest Farm Shop at St Kew on the real bread finder, and met Jeremy, who has set up a lovely bakery with a 30 loaf capacity wood-fired oven. I went to join Jeremy at about 5 am on his early morning bake (he'd started the fire at 4.00), where he works alone to produce a good variety of yeasted and longer-fermented loaves. We enjoyed sharing a little baker's chat while he did the daily bake. The bakery is based in a farm shop he runs with his wife Antonina, stocked with lots of locally sourced produce and goodies.
