Full Bread Day - Sunday 30th March (Mother's Day)

This day is all about exploring how the food you eat impacts your physical and mental health, while learning the art of baking as a form of Lifestyle Medicine.

Let's Demystify Sourdough.

We'll guide you on a journey, starting with the very basics—soil, grain, and flour—and working our way to the final product: delicious, nourishing sourdough bread. Along the way, we'll discuss the importance of food choices in maintaining both personal health and the health of our planet. You'll gain insights into topics like ultra-processed foods, fibre, gut health, and the connection between food and nature.

We will demo a walnut and red pepper dip from Syria which will be served with sourdough crackers made by you! We will also have some mushroom and seaweed páte with our lunch

Once we get the process under way we will enjoy some sourdough pancakes and no sugar fruit compote with our cuppa of choice!
