“I am delighted to have met you. A world has opened up to me with you. Every time I prepare new bread, it brings me great joy. It is a pleasant experience. Since good bread is my basis, it is genuinely satisfying to see and taste good quality bread. I am getting many compliments from everyone who tastes my sourdough bread. Although I had done courses in the past, my results were poor. With your method, everything changed. All this is possible thanks to your training, clear, detailed teachers who are simultaneously easy to understand and practical. Thank you very much for making everything easy and understandable.”

“This was my first bread-making course, and I absolutely loved it. I liked working with your flour and seeing it transform into dough. Through valuable hands-on lessons, I learned how to make excellent sourdough bread. It is appreciated by my children too! The masterclass gave me a stimulating starting point. From choosing the right flour to learning about the consistency of the sourdough and up to baking the perfect bread. I also liked that the tools in class were carefully selected. Thanks to both of you for your courtesy, professionalism and hospitality.”
