Recent reviews of Sourdough Masterclass

• 5/5 from Kerry Stewart, attended Oct 2026: Wow, what can I say. Tamara is a great host and teacher. We came home with a starter, a croissant and a baguette. She also supplied lunch with wine if we wanted it. I drove 2.5hours in the pouring rain, white knuckled most of the way and it was well worth it. I have booked into another course in a few weeks time. Excellent value for money. Don't hesitate.

• 5/5 from Wendy Thomson, attended Mar 2026: I recently attended the Sourdough Masterclass with Tamara and absolutely loved it. I have wanted to learn sourdough properly for years, and this session exceeded every expectation. Tamara is incredibly generous with her knowledge. She doesn’t just demonstrate the steps, she explains the why behind them, which makes all the difference when you go home to try it yourself. The class was hands on, practical and beautifully paced. There was no rushing, no holding back on tips or trade secrets. You leave feeling equipped, not overwhelmed. What also stood out was Tamara herself. Warm, approachable and deeply knowledgeable. She created such a welcoming environment, and the group dynamic was fantastic. It felt relaxed, supportive and genuinely enjoyable. I walked away inspired and excited to start baking my own sourdough and experimenting further. If you’ve been thinking about learning, don’t hesitate. This masterclass is worth it.

• 5/5 from Mirjana Gligorova, attended Apr 2024: The best sourdough workshop! Tamara prepared everything step by step, so it would be easier for everyone to understand, starting with the process of making a starter, maintaining it, preserving it if we are away from two weeks to a year, then the step by step making and baking the bread. Then we made delicious focaccia. We also had a chance to learn how to utilise the sourdough starter discard making the most delicious savoury scones, and granola that we were served in a cup as dessert. I loved the lunch, barley soup with homemade sourdough bread crumbs and cheese, lots of varieties of sourdough, baguettes and focaccia, various delicious cheeses, made by Tamara, ripe figs, and the real treat was the home made quince paste and great choice of white, rose and pinot noir wines. There were also other light refreshments, tea, coffee, cake great food, great experience, great venue, and lots of printed step by step information to take home. Thank you Tamara, thank you ClassBento!

• 5/5 from Marie van Drimmelen, attended Feb 2024: Fantastic location and an expert teacher. Tamara is VERY knowledgeable about sourdough and this masterclass was very informative. There was a lot of information and I think if I had not made a few sourdough loaves before this masterclass I would have been slightly lost in all the information. I would absolutely recommend this class for someone who has done a bit of sourdough baking and wants to improve their loaf or learn more. Or if you have lost your way and need pointing in the right direction. I can't wait to see what my next loaf looks like - and I hope to keep Olivier happy and healthy! Thanks again, I'll be back for more!
