Unfortunately, I didn’t really enjoy this workshop. There were too many people, and we spent more time talking than actually baking. The sourdough bread – the main reason I wanted to attend – didn’t turn out well. It smelled yeasty, didn’t rise properly, and the results were disappointing. Since we were working in pairs with several people at once, our loaves were baked two at a time in the same pot. I suspect that might have been part of the problem: the bread simply didn’t have enough space to rise, or maybe it needed more time. Either way, it wasn’t the outcome I had hoped for. The breadsticks were fine, but nothing special. The focaccia had very thick dough and was served with jam, which wasn’t particularly interesting. It would have been much more exciting to make something with sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, figs, or cheese – something with more flavor and creativity. Overall, I found the value of this workshop to be rather underwhelming.

The resident chef was great. The class however was overbooked. 4 people to a table was at least one maybe two too many. We paid to learn and practice the skills and techniques and we really only got to do half of the experience due to sharing the space and duties.
