I spent yesterday in the capable hands of Yoke Mardewi, making sourdough pastries. It was an amazing class, partly because I learnt so many new skills that it would be really hard to teach yourself at home.
We made croissants, almond croissants, pain au chocolat, escargot and tarte tartin. I came home with a big block of croissant pastry that I'm going to bake (in various forms) today. Results to follow...
If you're in Perth and are a keen baker, I can't recommend Yoke's book or classes highly enough. She is an amazing teacher, and is so generous with her time and resources. I'm going to miss visiting her a lot when we leave for London.
I can't recommend Yoke highly enough, especially if you are new-ish to baking sourdough bread. Do let me know if you do one - I'd love to know what you think.

I have been looking for come baking classes and I wasn't aware of the ones that Yoke's run. Will definitely be booking myself into some.
