  • 5/5 from Nathan Avery, attended Sep 2026: Derek was fantastic and accomodating, we were able to cook in our wood-fire oven. Everything baked tastes fantastic and we gained professional knowledge for future bakes
  • 5/5 from Kyle Exley, attended Sep 2026: Derek was so fun and knowledgable! We had sucky a great day! The bread was phenomenal and would highly recommend anything me looking to book a day bread making!
  • 5/5 from Ryan Jensen, attended Sep 2026: Derek was a great teacher, was able to answer all the questions that we had and was very knowledgeable. The bread was delicious also. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Leisa Jensen, attended Sep 2026: Derek came to our house for a private bread-making lesson, and he was a very informative and knowledgeable teacher. He knows his craft and explained the techniques wonderfully. My only minor critique is that Derek did quite a bit of the initial hands-on demonstration himself. While helpful to watch, I would have preferred to dive in and get my hands dirty right away. The class was very engaging and resulted in delicious bread.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Lefroy, attended Jun 2026: Fantastic class. My mum and I had a great time, very relaxed and learnt a lot about bread making. Derek was fabulous. Would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Kirstie Beveridge, attended May 2026: Had an amazing class. I learnt so so much and it was even more amazing it was in my own home using my oven!!! I highly recommended this class
  • 5/5 from Paul Bell, attended Aug 2025: We had a great day. Derek was so knowledgeable and taught us things we would never have learnt from recipes or you tube. We had a laugh along the way and ended with lots of beautiful bread to eat! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Alexander Thomas Ashton, attended Dec 2024: Derek was fabulous. Great tips to use later. Delicious bread.
  • 5/5 from Kathy Curtis, attended Oct 2024: Mum and I had a wonderful experience bread-making with Derek! His knowledge and patience made learning the art of bread-making easy and enjoyable. We ended up with delicious loaves that felt like they came straight from our own bakery. It was the perfect gift, and my mum was over the moon! I highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Lionel Pierson, attended Aug 2024: Absolutely fantastic day baking with Derek! I had been looking forward to learn some basics, having dabbled by myself for a few years, and I was thoroughly served! Derek brought a great mix of options and we got so into it that we ended up baking them all (Potato and Rosemary loaf, cinnamon scrolls and Stout wholemeal loaves) and then some! I had specific questions about how to improve my own bake with my own whole-meal flour, and Derek took the time to incorporate an extra bake into our day to explore my questions practically, and provided great suggestions and explanations on what could try in future for possible improvements. His creativity at doing loaves that you wouldn’t normally be able to get from elsewhere was such fun. Derek was very friendly and approachable, his passion was evident and was abundant in his generosity of information shared. I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and look forward to improving my skills and re-booking in future.
  • 5/5 from Linley Morgan, attended May 2024: Derek was very knowledgeable about all things bread! I learnt a lot and he answered all my questions. We had a fun day baking and most importantly ended up with some delicious loaves!
  • 5/5 from Antonio Vitale, attended Jun 2023: We had a great very informative day with Derek and everything went very well. Finished products were absolutely delicious
  • 5/5 from Amy Miocevich, attended Mar 2023: Derek was fantastic. Friendly and lovely, and had so much experience to share. The bread we made was exceptional. Better than I thought it could be.
  • 5/5 from Gino Salomone, attended Oct 2022: What a brilliant day! Derek was amazing. His knowledge, passion and enthusiasm was out of this world. He happily answered any question, was well prepared and the recipes were delicious. We can’t wait to make the stout bread again and the tips and tricks be taught us we have already implemented in our own bread making. Thank you Derek for a great day Highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Debbie Carson, attended Jul 2022: Wow! What a fantastic class, Derek taught me alot of his knowledge and baking skills, a very informative and fun class, Derek comes highly recommended, the bread and cinnamon scrolls turned out a treat, thanks Derek
  • 5/5 from Narelle Smith, attended May 2022: Such a great day with Derek, he is a talented bake with so much knowledge to share. He created a casual and fun atmosphere and really helped demystify making bread. The skills we learnt in just an afternoon would have taken years of trial and error to gain on our own, it was worth every cent! He left us with everything we needed to kickstart a successful baking journey and it was particularly good to use our own kitchen and oven to help repeat the same steps again and again. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Glenn Butcher, attended Feb 2022: We had a fantastic time. Derek was a great teacher and we had a wonderful Valentine's Day celebration at home because of this unique and lovely experience! The breads we made were all amazing and we even brought some to our office! We were accidentally double charged and Derek brought it to our attention. Thanks Derek for your honesty and professionalism!
  • 5/5 from Kim McNeill, attended Jan 2022: We had a great day with Derek learning how to make bread. The class was in our house but Derek provided everything required (other than the oven). We got to make two doughs. A fruit dough which was made into cinnamon scrolls, and a stout dough which was eventually divided in half to name two loaves, one plain, and the other flavoured with onion. I was a little worried the onion might overpower the bread but it worked a treat, with a sweet onion flavour throughout the whole loaf. Not at all too strong. Derek is a relaxed easy going person with lots of bread and bakery related stories to tell. We learned a lot about bread making, and many easy tips to ensure consistent and quality future bakes. A great day with delicious results.
  • 5/5 from Liana Gunzburg, attended Jul 2021: Derek was relaxed and informative, showing patiently how to make the most scrumptious wholemeal stout bread, fruit loaf and cinnamon buns. He brought all the equipment so we could do it in the comfort of my own kitchen. Not sure if I will have the patience to do it again on my own, but I have the recipes if I ever decide to try. Highly recommend.
  • 4/5 from Steve Keogh, attended Mar 2021: Very enjoyable day's work and play. The instructor Derek arrived on time, bringing all the necessary equipment and ingredients - he also brought lots of valuable experience, a lively interest in breadmaking generally, and heaps of knowledge. He was very easy to understand, and to work with and most importantly the outcome is really good. I learnt a lot more than I knew before.
