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.

This Weeks Focus

Each week Lucy kindly updates this category with the most relevant recipes and includes anything extra in that we talked about in our lives. If anything is missing please email [email protected] and she will update.

We make suggestions from our live baking sessions on Thursday evenings here. We also add any posts, advise, tips and articles that we discuss in the live sessions. This can include nutritional information, core knowledge, trouble shooting. If you haven’t attended the last live session then it is worth watching the catch up here.
