An Awfully French Adventure

8/4/2018

Comments

 
We're delighted to announce an exciting new venture with the fabulous sourdough expert and chef, Hilary Cacchio, Hilary is author of the wonderful Sourdough Suppers, a seasonal guide to eating and savouring your daily sourdough. My heart warmed to her the minute I read the phrase 'serve with a  good wedge of sourdough' throughout the book. Although I may have been influenced by the Prune, Armagnac and Honey Ice cream Sandwiches (made with brioche, of course!). Oh my! Hilary spends half the year in France and half the year here in the UK, teaching sourdough baking in London for schools such as Bread Ahead, Divertimenti and, formerly, Leith's.

Our shared passion for food and our love of sourdough has drawn us together and now we're putting our heads together to come up with a wonderful residential bread making course in the heart of the beautiful French countryside. Plans are coming together for October 2019, when we hope to offer a French- inspired baking and cooking course, taking in local markets and mills, to make the most of the fabulous fresh seasonal produce and traditionally milled French flour.

We'll keep you posted with updates, both here and via social media.

In the meantime, feel free to drop us an email at helen@whitecottagebakery.com if you want to register your interest. There's no commitment at this stage, but those on the mailing list will be first to hear details of the full package once booking is live.

A bientot!

Love Food Festival

15/2/2017

It was great to see everyone at the Love Food festival at Burwash Manor over the Valentines weekend! Our spelt and cardamom frangipane hearts proved popular - although there was a distinct lack of sharing going on. We approve. Nothing says romance like getting your hands on some baked goods and eating them all by yourself!

We were delighted to see both new and familiar faces at the festival, and there was some amazing food and drink on display around the tent - we hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!

Crop to Crust

Had a great time at 'Crop to Crust', an event focusing on the whole bread-making process from start to finish - growing, harvesting, milling, baking (and eating!)

It was fantastic to meet local farmers and bakers, and we were delighted to be there showcasing Jon Cook's stone-ground, all-natural flour (milled at Fosters Windmill, Swaffham Prior) in our bread. We've used Jon's flour since the bakery started, and we're big believers in baking with local ingredients - both to cut down on food miles and to support local business.

Sourdough September is here! From the real bread campaign's website:
​"Since 2013, the ninth month of the year has been when the Real Bread Campaign goes on a mission to help everyone discover that: life’s sweeter with sourdough!
From 1-30 September, Real Bread bakers and other fermentalists worldwide are encouraged to organise their own local events and activities to help share sourdough secrets and demystify the delicious delights of the oldest way of raising a loaf."
This September is all about buying - and baking! - real sourdough. It's easier than you think - why not join us at one of our workshops and learn how to make it at home?

You can visit the Real Bread Campaign's site here to find out more about how you can get involved in #SourdoughSeptember
