One of our bakers, Alison, attended a press event in London recently to promote Cooperative Fortnight and we thought we'd share with you a snippet of what she said:
Johanna, Otso and I had the real pleasure of visiting Master Baker, Aidan Chapman's Phoenix Bakery in Weymouth recently. Aidan is the reason I started baking. I attended a course led by him several years ago and his effusive passion for slow fermented real bread sparked something off in me and I started baking obsessively at home.
We will be moving premises in the Spring. Our relationship with Green Valley Grocer has been wonderful and we will continue to have very close links with them as well as continuing to supply them, but we have run out of space...
Our courses have proved incredibly popular and as a result of our move this spring we'll be able to offer more of them.
We've developed several new courses including 'Italian Baking', 'Baking with Children', 'Artisan Patisserie' and a special 'Build and Bake' clay oven building course partnering with our friends at Edibles. To find out more about our courses and to book, click here.
We just wanted to fill you in following the first Colne Valley Food Festival. It was a small but well formed weekend of veg swapping, alternative currencies, film screenings, debates, bee keeping classes, high altitude Yorkshire/Himalayan farming, baking taster sessions, potential veg and pig rearing plans and wild food foraging.
The Handmade Bakery is going from strength to strength and there are now 10 of us involved in one way or another. We're really pleased to let you know that now Matt, Johanna, Alison, Dan, Jo, Miriam, Paul, Natalia, Roy and Billy make up the team. Between us we're baking, cleaning, bookkeeping, running markets and teaching courses.
