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.

  • Description

Beautifully photographed and printed, a book that is sure to get you turning its pages to see what surprises follow. Vanessa has taken classics and given them a twist: not only in terms of flavour, but ethics too. From salads to curries and breads, this book is stunning, with insights into the way some foods are commonly sourced and the problems they present, along with easy ways to make sure that your cooking benefits the producers and does not harm the environment.

Publisher’s Note

Inspired by ethically sourced, sustainable ingredients available from the average supermarket, Vanessa shows how what you cook can make a real difference to those who produce it and to the environment.

Recipes are simple, unfussy and easy to cook at home, making everyday classics ethical and sustainable. –Chapter include Basics, Getting Ahead in the Kitchen, Simple Suppers, Feeding Children, Leisurely Weekend Food and Special Occasions. Let Vanessa inspire you to adapt the way you cook and change the world, one delicious bite at a time.

‘She’s an enthusiast, a delighter in life’s most civilised pleasure, and a grown-up who’s retained a child-like wonder at the mysteries of the world.’ – Sheila Dillon
