Introduction to Sour Dough
Monday saw the return of our popular Introduction to Sour Dough course, with the ever-knowledgeable Hilary Cacchio. This course is a personal favourite of mine because I am ever so interested in the rise of fermented food and the benefits I believe it can have.
The students learnt the science behind creating a wild yeast culture – from catching yeast and developing your mother culture to feeding a culture and reviving a dying culture.
See the results below...

There are plans for a two-day sour dough course later this year, find out more at cambridgecookeryschool.com.
