The smell of fresh bread, the crunch of a perfectly baked loaf...what more could you hope for? Join us at Book + Bottle on Monday, May 12th from 6pm-8pm for a Sourdough Lesson + Tasting with Kelsey Yates! Sourdough for the People is a beginner's introduction that will ground you in the basics of sourdough making.

In this class, you will:

-Receive your own sourdough starter to take home.

-Observe a demonstration of the bread-making philosophy and process, with some hands-on opportunities!

-Have the chance to ask questions from a sourdough expert!

-Take home a copy of Sourdough for the People—Kelsey's love letter to Sourdough in magazine format—which gives a thorough set of instructions on the sourdough-making process.

-Taste bread samples made by Kelsey!

Kelsey describes this event as “cooking show” style; contrary to popular belief, sourdough making is very passive, with short working steps that interlude periods of resting; in this class Kelsey will present the four main hands-on steps by preparing several loaves at the different stages, bypassing the waiting periods of fermentation.

We can't wait to see you there!
