The Sourdough Club

Baking as Lifestyle Medicine Community

Twenty-five years ago, Dr Vanessa Kimbell noticed that the students she'd taught at The School needed a friendly hand once they got home — so she founded The Sourdough Club. We've since welcomed thousands of bakers worldwide. Here Vanessa and her alumni are beside you in live sessions and through our libraries of videos and recipes, whenever you'd like support or to make your sourdough your own.
