Abergavenny Baker

Really enjoyed the French baking course last week. Rachael puts everyone at ease and explains everything so well. The proof of the pudding is always when you bake the same items yourself without support and I was delighted with the Second breakfast Granary loaf and baguettes which came out of the oven this morning. I would recommend the course to novices and those who have done a bit of baking as Rachael has many tips which make all the difference. I had been looking at bread-baking books previously, but having done the course, I feel much more informed (as regards the science of baking) and confident to tackle new recipes on my own.

Had a genuinely wonderful day with Rachael and the class attendees making, baking and tasting some delicious Italian breads! My partner and I made the trip to Abergavenny especially for this class as part of a Christmas present, and Im so glad we did! We stayed at the Lamb & Flag inn and had a delicious meal at Casa Bianca the night before, its a lovely town. Rachels kitchen is an amazing space to spend the day, and she was so knowledgeable and personable. The entire day was very informative and productive, whilst remaining relaxing and fun, we all had a great laugh and left with a bag full of bread and full stomachs! I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone.

As my wife and I had already enjoyed the Italian bread course, it was time to delve into the world of sourdough bread. The class was very informative, conducted at a relaxed pace with five classmates with varying experiences. Rachel is a great teacher, and the day is very relaxed and includes a delicious lunch. You also take home all your baking. Next up, French bread?
