Overview:
This two-book collection from Vanessa Kimbell brings together the art and science of sourdough for the home baker. The Sourdough School Sweet Baking focuses on transforming the slow-fermented tang of sourdough into irresistible, gut-friendly desserts and treats. By exploring flours such as chestnut, spelt, and einkorn, plus customizable blends, the book demonstrates how natural sweetness can elevate cakes, tarts, biscuits, doughnuts, brioche and pretzels without compromising digestion or flavor. The Sourdough School complements this with a practical, beginner-friendly roadmap to traditional bread, including how to start a starter from scratch, master essential breadmaking techniques, and experiment with sprouted grains and flavour-infused loaves. Together, these hardback guides offer a cohesive, home-baker–focused journey from starter to sweet finish, pairing reliable technique with creative, bakery-inspired results. With clear explanations, step-by-step photography, and Vanessa’s encouraging guidance, the set invites you to bake with confidence, joy, and everyday deliciousness.
What Makes This Collection Special:
Two authoritative guides from The Sourdough School, designed to accompany you from foundational breadmaking to indulgent, dessert-forward sourdoughs. The collection frames a complete at-home program: nurture a thriving starter, build dependable techniques, and unlock a world of flavoured loaves and sweets that honor slow fermentation and natural sweetness. Readers benefit from a consistent teaching style, practical photography, and recipes that scale from weeknight loaves to weekend baking marathons. The hardcover format provides a premium keepsake that's as suitable for gifting to a budding baker as it is for a kitchen library shelf. This set is ideal for anyone seeking tasty, digestible sourdough options without sacrificing craft or flavor, making it easy to turn everyday ingredients into memorable bakes.
