What you'll do
Always wanted to make your own sourdough starter? Join award-winning baker and food writer Dan Lepard in this hands-on sourdough masterclass!
Dan is an expert known for his innovative approach to baking. He has written a number of books on baking, regularly features in The Guardian, Delicious magazine and other publications and was a judge on the first series of the Great Australian Bake Off.
With Dan's guidance, you'll learn to achieve the crust, crumb, taste and texture of delicious sourdough bread as you make an impressive selection of loaves.
From creating and keeping a healthy starter to mixing, kneading and shaping the perfect loaf, you'll get hands-on with every stage of the baking process. Dan will teach you to make your sourdough starter from scratch, discuss the best ways to freeze and bake from frozen, show you how to create steam in the oven and share the secrets of baking with a bakestone!
If you're looking for relaxing things to do in London, why not rest your mind and get hands-on with fun sourdough bread making? Start the day with a lovely breakfast, enjoy a beautiful lunch of British artisan cheeses, paté, salad and homemade bread and partake in afternoon tea before leaving with your impressive new skills.
Sample menu: (subject to change due to seasonality and availability)
- Sourdough starter from scratch and how to use it at home.
- White sourdough loaf.
- Focaccia.
- Dill and turmeric loaf.
Please note:
- This class uses induction hobs. If you use a cardiac pacemaker or electrical implant you are recommended to remain a safe distance from the hobs.
- We are happy for anyone of any age to attend. If they are very young, an adult needs to work with them, in which case we would only charge for one space.

Your teacher
In 2003 Rosalind Rathouse decided to set up her own cookery school. What makes her qualified to run a cookery school? The answer is twofold: 50 years of teaching experience plus a passion for food and cooking. This passion led to her founding Piemaker in the 80s -- a maker and supplier of wholesale pies and cakes to the likes of Harrods, Waitrose and the Orient Express.
With the decline in people passing down home cooking through the generations, in 2003 Rosalind decided to combine her enthusiasm for teaching and her love of food to open Cookery School at Little Portland Street. The lasting principles of classic, simple home cooking are embedded in the school’s ethos even today. Rosalind feels very strongly that proper teaching can enthuse even the most unconfident cook. By 2008, the school was thriving, with fully booked classes, courses and corporate events gaining in popularity, so Rosalind took on a second, much larger, kitchen in the same building.
Even before the inception of the cookery school, Rosalind has been fervently passionate about sustainability. Cookery School has the highest possible rating for sustainability from the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA) and has been virtually plastic-free since the beginning. Sustainability is not just a buzzword but runs through the veins of the school, from sourcing top quality, seasonal, mostly organic ingredients, to running the kitchens on renewable energy, the school does everything possible to minimise its impact on the planet.
