  • 5/5 from Kayla Marie Ryan, attended May 2026: Thank you Clare! Such a lovely morning. Learnt lots, and cant wait to put it into practice now. Clare made it simple and not overwhelming but she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to sourdough!
  • 4/5 from Pip Job, attended Mar 2026: Clare was so generous in both her sourdough wisdom and in having us in her own home. There was so much to take in - sourdough isn’t simple, but she encouraged us to contact her if we need any help or tips. You leave the workshop with both a dough ready for the oven and your next starter - so make sure you can handle this after the workshop.
  • 5/5 from Cheryl Toohey, attended Jan 2026: Teacher Clare was lovely and very relaxed. Easy to follow instructions which help to achieve a great sourdough. Focaccia was
  • 5/5 from Jemima Woods, attended Jul 2025: A fantastic workshop. Clare is so knowledgeable - her passion for sourdough is contagious. Super suprised by the versatility of the sourdough recipe... We made delicious sourdough bread and focaccia on the day and brought home our own dough and a starter to bake at home. (I decided to make a focaccia - SO GOOD!) - Thank you Clare & Marko!
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Downie, attended Jul 2025: Really loved this course with Clare. Very small group which was lovely. We walked through the steps to make a sourdough loaf start to finish, sampled lots of lovely baked goods straight out of the oven and came away with our own loaf and starter. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Janice Meers, attended Nov 2024: We loved our afternoon with Clare. Learnt so much and she made the process so easy. Samples were very tasty and we left confident in our ability to make our own. Thankyou Clare
