A Fun and Great Way to Learn!

This was such a a fun class! Being hands on and being able to ask questions really helped me understand the sourdough process. Igor was funny, professional, and extremely knowledgeable on sourdough bread making! The next day I made my own sourdough loaf at home and it came out perfect!

Detailed instruction

I had the nicest time at the sourdough class and mostly because of the detailed instruction that I received. I've been trying to understand the steps of making a good loaf for quite awhile and Igor helped me learn what each step is for and not to be so intimidated. I'd advise anyone looking to improve your skills or even just starting on your journey to take this class. You'll never have a better cooking environment or a more experienced teacher than Igor!

Thank you so much, Lori! I’m really glad to hear the class helped make the sourdough process feel more approachable. It was a pleasure having you there, and I’m excited for all the great loaves you’ll bake ahead. Thank you again for your kind words and support — it truly means a lot!
