“I have been making bread for about 40 years, but the bread I have made in the last week from the Artisan Bread course is the best I have ever done. I thought it might be beginner’s luck, but I replicated it – quite simply the best home-made bread I have ever had.” Sally B

Some recent testimonials:

“Hi Simon …. I purchased the two bread making courses a few days ago …. JUST PERFECT!   I have watched all episodes and they are VERY good … they will help me to correct some basic mistakes that I have been making.”
“Dear Simon, I have been making bread for about 40 years, but the bread I have made in the last week from the Artisan Bread course is the best I have ever done. I thought it might be beginner’s luck, but I replicated it – quite simply the best home-made bread I have ever had. Thank you so much – I am now gearing up for the sourdough versions. I really like the ability to watch and re-watch the videos – always some new detail to make note of. While I imagine attendance at a day or weekend course would give me guided experience of working with dough, I feel you have really nailed the information with the clearly sequenced procedure, the science and the reasons for certain details. With best wishes.” Brian D

“Hi Simon

I purchased both courses and have completed the first and am making delicious bread. So good that I haven’t started the sourdough course yet but will do so soon. Shop bread is just not worth buying now!Worth every penny of the cost – thank you Simon.”

“My feedback so far is very positive. I found your course, and because I can do and watch, things have moved on a great deal. I had been getting a bit disheartened –  now I have confidence to go forward.”

Lesley B, Nov 2015

“Simon,

I have been baking bread now for couple of years picking up hints and ideas as I have gone along from books and TV. Your course has been the most useful yet. Have recently been given some sourdough starter and your techniques have really helped. It’s good to be able to go back again (and again) to check on the many points you raise. Perhaps because I understand more about bread making now but I have found your course the most useful / inspiring yet – truly excellent.” Iain P January 2015

“Simon,

I would like to say your many thanks for the online bread making course.

Informative and very straightforward to understand. The method you are using takes you step by step to a professional finish and a quality of bread not easily found elsewhere…. the sourdough course is as straightforward and informative as your first bread course I purchased some months ago. Easy instructional stages that make producing a quality sourdough loaf a pleasure.Thank you.”

“Simon,

The videos are great. You can go back over things easily. Probably better in some ways than a classroom. Work at your own pace. I was starting to get a bit disillusioned with the books. The course has brought back my enthusiasm.”
