Carole Phillips reviewed: Introduction to Sourdough Bread Making class

"An absolutely wonderful day, Ian and Michael welcomed everyone to their lovely home with coffee or tea. Introductions, then into the kitchen to start learning how to bake with sour dough. Ian is an excellent tutor, very informative, humorous and patient. He took us through the process of preparing and baking focaccia, rye bread and a sour dough boule which we cooked at home. A gorgeous lunch was provided and we left equipped with baking goodies and excellent instructions. I would thoroughly recommend this course to people of any age, it is also excellent value for money. "

StagHill Bakes responded:

"Dear Carole, thank you so much for this great review. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the class 😀. Best wishes, Ian"
