Bread + Workshops
Out of the Oven Kitchen offers sourdough bread workshops, cooking classes and registry services.
The first time my mother visited me in my own apartment she brought me flour, sugar and salt. It was a traditional housewarming gift to ensure I’d never go hungry and that my life would be sweet and flavorful.
My mother is gone and I’ve taken to baking sourdough bread. Bread requires three things: water, salt and flour. Baking sourdough bread is also a metaphor for life. Sourdough is a living thing. It must be fed. It must be tended to. It is completely unique and reflective of your own microbes. Your sourdough starter is not like anyone else’s starter. It tastes different and it behaves differently. Sourdough cannot be controlled. It can just be. Couples who bake bread together are happy!
Food is love, and the ability to feed myself and my friends and family gives my life tremendous meaning. The kitchen is the heart of every home. Everyone wants to hang out in the kitchen and I want you to feel good hanging out in yours. If you long to prepare simple and delicious meals but don’t know how to start, I can show you. Out of the Oven is devoted to helping you feel confident in your kitchen so you can stop ordering takeout and put real food on the table.
I use the same non-judgmental approach in your kitchen that I use with families I doula for.
