There's nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread, especially if you've made it yourself! And on the 17th November, it's National Homemade Bread Day. The idea is that the day encourages us all to get making our own bread at home. I did a Bread Making Course with the Ashdown Cookery School in Sussex and it was great fun. I'd had it as a gift, and actually to my surprise, the bread I bought home with me was all right, in fact it was better than I expected! (I'm no cook, I can tell you!) Virgin Experience Days have a number of bread making experiences, such as these below... There's Ann's Smart School of Cookery Artisan Bread Making for Two - you can do a 2 hour cookery experience with an expert tutor and discover a unique way to make bread without proving! Create a lovely selection from the likes of pizza, dough sticks and walnut and raising bread! A taster of the dishes will be served too, and professional chefs will teach you tips and tricks of the trade. Recipes will be sent to you after the class by email. Three locations are available: Buckinghamshire, London & Essex. This was £258 and it's now £103 so a great offer! Find out more from Virgin Experience Days There are other experiences at the Smart School of Cookery and some very offers for some of them if you go through Virgin Experience Days.
