What they say about the Little Eye Sourdough Baking Classes in November and December
December course's white sourdough bloomer
"very useful to pick up tips from experienced bakers"
"We both really enjoyed the
course and meeting the others and yourself and your wife. We would recommend your course
to any budding bakers."
"Great fun, I learned a lot and gained a lot of confidence.
The expression “it’ll be fine” will stick in my mind as I had got rather too
uptight about following everything in Andrew Whitley’s book to the letter. It
was good that the group were at pretty
much the same level of (in)experience, and the group dynamics were also very
positive which is always a bonus."
"We
had been dabbling, and seemed to always meet the same issues. We now have
answers as to why our loaves were inelastic, and a whole better understanding
of managing our starters. Our first post course loaves are just cooling now,
and are way better in texture and crumb than our previous efforts."
"The lunch was great with the best bread ever I had since I’m
over here. I was very much surprised about the bread we did. It was unexpected.
I know sour dough bread as greyish heavy bread with a sour taste ( as you’ll
find it in the French speaking part of Switzerland). I didn’t know that sourdough bread also can be light and not at all with a taste of sour. This
experience was great."
"We had a wonderful time, in a really friendly and open
environment, with a small group of like-minded 'bread-heads'. The atmosphere
was supportive and encouraging, with lots of helpful discussion and educational
digressions. Lunch was exactly right, wholesome and nourishing, and just helped
continue the 'pleasure in good food' ethos of the whole day. We were pleased
that we were able to produce a range of loaves that we would actually pay good
money for, and have already had the joy of sharing some with our neighbours. A
fully satisfying and worthwhile day, and a great way to spend a birthday!"
