This class is ideal for anyone who doesn't have any prior knowledge of sourdough baking, or does and wants to learn more detail about how to make amazing sourdough bread in their own home kitchen. We will start with an introduction to the theory behind the process and then it’s time to get stuck in.
You will learn everything from creating and maintaining your own starter to folding, shaping and baking. Each participant will take home a loaf of freshly baked sourdough and a jar of my organic sourdough starter.
You also have the option of purchasing a sourdough starter bag containing all the key elements so you can hit the ground running and start baking your own bread as soon as you get home.
I’m Daniela Forbes, a chef, stylist and food educator with Italian roots. I love helping people gain the skills and confidence they need to cook delicious food from scratch, in a fun, relaxed environment.
I studied at the Edinburgh School of Food and Wine, Leith’s Cookery School and the Bertinet Kitchen, as well as undertaking chocolate training with Chocolate Master Ruth Hinks of Cocoa Black. I’m fully PVG registered and hold all relevant food safety certificates. I’ve worked as head cook in various bistros and cafés, as well as running my own food education business working with clients like The Good Food Show, The Cake and Bake Show and Quality Meat Scotland, which involved creating and running workshops in secondary schools across Scotland.
Like so many people, lockdown meant I started to explore different ways of working. I hosted sourdough and pizza workshops from my home kitchen in Cramond, as well as testing my workshop ideas on my two young children (turns out cooking is a great way of homeschooling). This inspired me to launch The Cook Academy. I’m delighted to be working from St George’s School in Murrayfield – it’s right in the centre of beautiful Edinburgh, with fantastic facilities which will help me share my fun, informal and practical classes with even more people.
