My husband and I had an amazing time with Igor and his bread baking class.It was such an interesting and very educated class. We learned a lot about baguette bread and also got to try Turkish pizza that was delicious.
Hello Veronica!
Thank you so much for joining our bread baking class and for taking the time to share your experience! I’m really glad you both enjoyed the baguette lesson, and I’m happy to hear the Turkish pide during the class was a hit too.
It was wonderful having you in our hands-on baking experience, and I hope we get to bake together again soon - whether it’s another sourdough, baguette, or pizza class in Albuquerque.
P.S. Thank you for the great pictures!

I am amazed at how much information was given to us in our 3 hour class
with Igor! He stopped several times for questions and answered all of them using our class time effectively. His easy teaching style made the class relaxed and very enjoyable.

Ive now gone twice to their pizza making class with co workers and we had the best of times and were educated on so many things about Pizza. They make you feel at home and have the best hospitality. Everyone should do this! Great team building event.
Thank you so much, Mary! It was wonderful having you and your coworkers join us again. We’re so glad you had such a great time and enjoyed the class. It means a lot to know you felt at home. Creating that welcoming experience is what we love most. We look forward to seeing you all again soon for another team-building adventure!

This was the first class I had taken with Sherwood. It was a fun class in a great outdoor environment. The area we were in was shaded and it wasn't too hot. Igor is a good instructor and entertaining. There are some hands-on activities as part of a group effort to make the bread. I learned a lot of useful information on baking bread. We also had some opportunities to taste some pizza and flat bread he made which was delicious. I recommend it and I would sign up for a future class.
Hello Ms Anne Hallett!
Thank you for joining the class and for your thoughtful feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed the outdoor setting, the hands-on activities, and of course the bread and turkish pizza. I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime for another class!
Warm regards,
