I've been baking sourdough for 15 years, perfecting my loaves through classes, bakery work, and plenty of trial and error. After teaching family, friends, and colleagues, I'm now sharing my passion more widely with classes that take you from starter to loaf, so you can bake your own delicious sourdough at home.
