About us

The Sourdough School is nestled in a small village in the countryside in Northamptonshire. Dedicated to teaching the art of baking with a strong emphasis on health and nutrition we teach home bakers, healthcare professionals and commercial bakers to bake healthy bread. Under the guidance of Dr. Vanessa Kimbell, the school offers comprehensive courses that explore the deep connections between sourdough, gut health, and overall well-being. The curriculum is enriched by the BALM (Baking as Lifestyle Medicine) protocol, which integrates scientific research into practical baking techniques. The Sourdough School is not just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community where students collaboratively share knowledge and passion for creating nutritious, delicious bread.
