Hundreds of participants have enjoyed their involvement in food preparation during their stay at Schumacher College. Bread has, like so many other foods, become industrialised and de-natured. The Slow Food movement has gone from campaigning for quality food, to demanding food that as well as tasting good, is produced in environmentally and socially responsible ways.
This course brings together two champions of real food. Participants will focus on the art of baking real bread and link this with a discussion on the ways our food system needs to be changed. Andrew Whitley will teach bread-making skills and explore with participants the ways in which a return to small-scale production would be beneficial. With Carlo Petrini, participants will look at broader food production issues within the context of the aims of the Slow Food movement.
This course is intended for: people who want to gain hands-on experience, with a world expert, of how to bake real bread, and have the opportunity to discuss in depth the components of a sustainable food system. Schumacher College is always proud of its delicious homemade and wholesome food. On this course, participants explore these areas in an exceptional way.
