An invitation to join the Sourdough Club

If you are reading this then is because I believe that your values and passion match our systems change programme.  You are not obliged to take me up on this offer, and please do take your time to look at what we do before joining.  The places are limited to 50, one for each year I have lived! I didn’t really plan to run this offer, it just kind of fell out of my brain on Instagram as I was so frustrated with the inequality and injustice that is ruining lives and our planet.

It’s not just about learning to make bread.  It is about being part of a system change programme.  Here is more about what the Sourdough Club is.

You are invited to join the Unlimited Membership to the Club.  This membership can be seem here. I have allocated a voucher for £500 off the joining fee as an activist voucher.  This reduces your joining fee to £99.  I am afraid we have to keep the monthly subscription.  We are a small team and the funds support the programme that we offer.

The best bits are the Libraries, the Baking Live sessions and the Lifestyle Medicine Live sessions with my team.  We are highly interactive and love what we do.

I am so delighted to invite you to join the Sourdough Club. Please see the information below to join.

This voucher gives you £500 off the £599 joining fee making it just £99 to join. There will then be a £4.99 a month membership fee, which can be cancelled at any point should you wish to.

Please copy and paste this code 500-off-joining-fee at checkout to claim your reduced rate Sourdough Club Community membership  click HERE 

What happens next?

If you choose to join then when you have completed this you will receive an email with details of your username and password. You will also receive a separate order confirmation email which tells you exactly how to use the Club. I hope then to see you in the Live sessions.  The first Lifestyle Medicine session is Monday 16th January at 7pm (London time), and I will be here on Thursdays at 4pm Live for customers services and any other general questions, and then 8pm for our Baking session.  You will have access to the libraries immediately.

Please use your code within 30 days.

I am really look forward to welcoming you to the Club! If you have any user problems please see me in the 4pm live.

Vanessa

🍕 Sourdough Club members can learn to make sour 🍕 Sourdough Club members can learn to make sourdough pizza with our exclusive video tutorials and recipes. Plus all our top tips for making show-stopping pizza, like...

💡 The dough for your sourdough pizza should be slightly drier than a classic dough. It makes it easier to handle, especially when you are stretching the pizza base.

We look forward to sourdough pizza nights here at the Sourdough School. They are a chance to bring friends and family together, enjoy good food and get creative (and sometimes just a little competitive!) with pizza toppings. Over the years we’ve learned a few tricks and techniques for getting the best from our home-made sourdough pizzas. Many of these are really simple, but they can make a huge difference.

THE SOURDOUGH SCHOOL – HAND-CARVED WOODEN SPATUL THE SOURDOUGH SCHOOL – HAND-CARVED WOODEN SPATULA

One of the biggest issues around using a wooden spoon to mix sourdough is that you often mix a lower hydration initially, on the first mix. The problem with this is that you need some real strength... many a good wooden spoon has been snapped mixing dough. 

Our hand-carved wooden spatula has beauty. It has strength. The flat edge is designed to allow you to get right up against the edge of the bowl, to mix all the water and flour together. 

Baking is always a joy but it is even more joyful when you are using tools that are ergonomically designed and fit for purpose but also handmade lovingly by someone who has that same creative streak in them, using sustainable and ethical wood. 

Follow the link in the bio to our shop where you can find our full selection of wooden sourdough tools 👆

🌾 CELEBRATE NATIONAL MILLS WEEKEND - 13th & 14t 🌾 CELEBRATE NATIONAL MILLS WEEKEND - 13th & 14th May 🌾

Join the festivities of #NationalMillsWeekend this May, as over 300 windmills and watermills open their doors to the public, showcasing the UK's rich milling heritage.

Visiting traditional mills is a beautiful way to connect with the ingredients you bake with, and delve into the heritage of bread making and milling. Head to their website to find a mill near you, like Whissendine Windmill pictured here!

Whissendine Windmill is one of the few remaining operational nineteenth-century windmills in England, towering over the village of Whissendine, Rutland for over 200 years. Restored to perfection by Nigel Moon, it produces plain, strong white, and wholemeal flours.

Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to witness the magic of milling firsthand!

AGGRESSIVE COMMENTS We have noticed an increase i AGGRESSIVE COMMENTS 
We have noticed an increase in aggressive comments lately, and we believe this attitude could be due to the increase of misinformation from unregulated and unreliable data sources on bread from bakers and others who are saying anything for attention. In particular this trend is because the AI favours negative responses, which encourages nonsense in information & behaviour.😟

WHY WE WON’T PUT UP WITH IT
We would like to take a moment to clarify to help maintain a positive and respectful environment for everyone.

WE ARE EVIDENCE BASED 
Our posts are led by baker, activist and author @vanessakimbell, the founder of the @sourdoughschool, who has been passionately baking sourdough for 40 years. Her technical skills and knowledge of sourdough is phenomenal …. but she is also equally knowledgeable about the fermentation and how this can impact physical & mental health and finishing her PhD.

OUR FREE RESEARCH LIBRARY 
The knowledge and information we share is fully backed by Vanessa's expertise. You can access more than 700+ studies meticulously researched and published by her and the team of medical professionals, nutritionists, neuroscientists, doctors and psychiatrists in the database.

👆🏼www. Sourdough.co.uk/research 

We are a social enterprise and this dedication involves investing thousands of pounds to share evidence-based information about sourdough and bread. It is key to  our values and Vanessa's vision and commitment to baking nourishing bread as social justice.

We therefore ask that you take a moment to consider the incredible generosity in supporting all bakers for free for over a decade on our platform and kindly ask that you remain respectful in your communication with us and each other. 

Please reflect before making disparaging or inappropriate comments on posts

A SAFE SPACE 
👆🏼We are committed to maintaining a positive environment for our community, and anyone who engages in unprofessional communication will be removed to keep our community informed, inspired, engaged, encouraged and most of all safe in sharing their thoughts and tips, opinions and ideas on our feed.

Thank you
