Each class you will receive starter, recipes, hands on experience, demonstrations, and shared conversations to help you understand the alchemy of sourdough.

• Participate in a sourdough starter gifting ritual in which you will mix your own starter replicated from Ashley's starter that you will take home with you to get started.

• Taste some fresh homemade delights including sourdough crackers, white bean dip, pickles and of course some sourdough bread.

• Receive a packet of recipes to get you going.
