Discover Sourdough with Aidan Monks – New Workshop

Many people ask whether Aidan will be hosting a workshop or talk anytime soon… Well, the exciting news is that we have one planned! And the great news is that it’s also for a really good cause. It’s all about sourdough and will be held at Rheged in Penrith with all fees going to the inspirational Growing Well.

Dare we say it – it’s great one to remember if you’re looking ahead for festive, feel good Christmas gifting ideas for anyone you know (including yourself!) who loves all things sourdough and local.

• Discovering Sourdough and the Art of Artisan Baking with Aidan Monks
• Location – Rheged, Penrith Friday 19th 2024, 9.30am – 12.30pm

The art of crafting sourdough is a liberating experience for all creatives; an artisan can exercise their love for all things hand-crafted and naturally produced through bread making. Aidan would love to share his passion for bread craftsmanship with you this January.

Would you like to learn –

• Flour power – why ancient grains and whole grains matter
• How to make and maintain a sourdough starter
• The craftsmanship of artisan baking
• An insight into proving loaves successfully.
• Why scoring loaves well matters to the rise.
• How to bake to perfection

And have your own sourdough questions answered.

You will leave with –

• Our 35+ year old starter
• A collection of notes and recipes
• New friends and like-minded baker pals

If this is teasing your intrigue and you’re keen to learn, book now.

During this session, Aidan will share why being a true and wholesome artisan matters. It not only matters to the taste of the bread you eat, but more importantly, the impact those bites of bread have on your well-being, gut-health and immunity.

Sourdough is far from a fad; it’s a considered lifestyle choice, a choice hundreds of consumers are making. Have you ever wondered why? 

Manufactured loaves can make you feel sick, bloated, and tired; Aidan will demystify the differences between sourdough and factory-baked bread. Exploring with you the importance of ingredients, organic flour and blending seeds and grains with nutritional values in mind.

Fee – £20.00 per person and this all goes to a wonderful cause, Growing Well.

You will be making a difference this winter; your workshop fee will be donated to Growing Well.

Feeling good and brighter, not only for knowledge gained, but feeling wholesome this Christmas as the workshop fees will be denoted to Growing Well, our chosen charity of the year, to help those seeking inner peace, well-being, and a fresh start. Help us, help others – there’s lots of folks who need a safe place to learn from.

Making Christmas shopping wholesome in the community!
If you have a friend, a loved one or a mate who would like an alternative Christmas present, a little something for them that also means so much to a local charity like Growing Well, this is the perfect Christmas gift idea!

Join Aidan Monks on the 19th of January 2024, and leave inspired with a notepad filled with a wealth of information and answers on all things sourdough. This is a little something you could do with a friend, perhaps whilst finding a few new ones too.
