Sourdough Bread & Ferments Cookery Class Led By Catherine Maxwell

About

Sourdough bread and fermented foods are becoming increasing popular for a variety of reasons. Easier to digest, as some of the starches and sugars have already been broken down, consuming this type of product is also known to have health benefits. Sourdough contains more vitamins and minerals and is lower in sugars than other breads plus it tastes great, has a good crust and a light 'crumb'. Fermentation is the best method for preserving foods in order to maintain and even boost its nutritional value.

Catherine's qualifications in nutrition have led to an interest in fermented foods so, as there is a lot of 'waiting around' for sourdough to prove, she will help you make some fermented foods and understand more about the process and why this method of food preservation is so good for your body
