Workshops

Come and join Pip and a small group of people in getting their hands dirty and learning a new skill. We go through the recipes step-by-step, with loads of time for questions, a bit of chat and delicious food and drinks to keep you going.

Grab a friend (or a bunch of friends) or come on your own for an indulgent day of hands on learning.

“I just wanted to say that I really appreciated the day, and the generosity you showed us in teaching us, providing lunch and morning tea, the day was exceptional! I have made much bread since the workshop and picked up several tips that made the bread better”

~ Yvonne

“It was such a fun day and I couldn’t rave about it more if I tried!”
