All you need to start and nurture a lively sourdough starter culture are flour, water, time and a bit of know-how. In this class, award-winning cookbook author Anne-Marie Bonneau, the friendly voice behind The Zero-Waste Chef cookbook and newsletter, will show you how to start a starter culture and how to keep it alive. This hands-on workshop will guide you through each step of the process, and participants will leave with their very own baby starter to continue nurturing at home.

Please note! This class covers sourdough starter only. We will not bake sourdough bread in this class. But please bring your questions about the bread as well.
