Is this for me?
Is this the best way to learn?
It really depends on what kind of person you are and what interests you. If you are disciplined and you want to use the club structure as a resource then this membership is good way to learn.
The advantage to joining as a club level members is that you do not have to wait to start learning.
The disadvantage is that this membership is entirely self guided, less expensive, does not include the research level features, tasks, events or access to the live classes tutorials or the clinics and is far less interactive with Vanessa.
This option is often the one intermediate bakers choose who want the flexibility of a rolling monthly membership. It is inportantqo note that you are committed to staying for a minimum of 3 months, before you can cancel your subscription
Wait
If you are a total beginner and have never baked sourdough then this is a big commitment and really I would rather you don’t join the club until you have baked. Don’t be surprised that I am suggesting not joining as the best route. My motivation is not money, and you would be far better off that you start with a lower cost option of our 10 minute Sourdough Book, which is a brilliant beginners book or following our basic recipes free here. Then once you know that you like baking and you want learn more then come back and join.
Should I Join?
Only if you can answer yes to the following statements:
- I have baked sourdough before
- I am self motivated, and can commit to baking.
- I am interested in more than just big holes – I want to understand sourdough
- Healthy bread is something I am very interested in learning more about
- I want to learn about other ways to use sourdough such as pasta, flat breads, pastries, cakes and buns.
- I like to know about how to eat bread to support gut health- including probiotics and probiotic recipes
If you you fee that you would like to join, please enrol – I will be delighted to find you in our club members forum if not then please consider a guided course – they are amazing.

Bake one share one
Part of our baking protocol is that we ask all our members to bake two and share one. So almost all of our recipes are made to follow this principle. Baking is about sharing bread and we encourage people to connect to each other and by baking more this also helps you learn to bake.
