Chef Roberto is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and presents a scientific approach in a very simple and fun way, learning all there is to learn about Sourdough and how to make the best loaf! Everything was provided, we even got to keep items to make our next loafs, as well as taking home two loads ready to bake. Over 3.5hours, we learnt and prepared our own loaves, before eating bread that was baked as we started. From start to finish, it was a great class, highly recommended And you get your own starter to take home. Very worth the time and money
