The Sourdough Club

Baking as Lifestyle Medicine Community

The Club was created in 2001, a few years after Vanessa began teaching sourdough. It is now 25 years old. It began when Dr Vanessa Kimbell realised that when students attended The School they needed personal support when they got home. Both Vanessa and alumni students provide support to Sourdough bakers in live sessions and from the libraries of videos and recipes developed over the years for those wanting support or to further personalise their sourdough bread.

Sourdough & Baked Cheese

Learning Objective

Learn how to prepare sourdough and baked cheese and find out about sourcing delicious British cheeses.

Learning Outcome

You will be able to serve sourdough and baked cheese, and understand the importance of sourcing local artisan cheese.

One of my favourite fresh British cheeses is made in Hampshire, by a small family-run business that pays a fair price for the milk they buy from their local dairy farmers. I love to serve it baked and drizzled with a teaspoon of dark runny honey. In late summer, I simply add a plate of sliced ripe figs, and for the rest of the year, I serve it with breadsticks and fresh dates. Truly delicious.
