Bake it real!

Saturday 18^th Sept 2010 10 am – 5 pm at Jewel & Esk College

This was a great oppor­tun­ity to spend a day mak­ing your own deli­cious bread with well-known artis­an baker and teach­er Andrew Whitley, for a frac­tion of the cost of a cook­ery school!

A dozen of us learnt the secrets of fer­ment­a­tion using yeast and sour­dough, how to shape, prove and bake a vari­ety of breads – and much more!

Andrew Whitley star­ted The Village Bakery in Cumbria in 1976, using loc­al stone­ground wheat and wood-fired ovens. He’s now moved to Macbiehill where he teaches bak­ing and is help­ing to start a com­munity bakery at Whitmuir Organic Farm. He is co-founder of the Real Bread Campaign and author of the award-win­ning book Bread Matters.

The course cost £20 which covered all mater­i­als, but not lunch.
