Meet Madeline

Madeline’s passion for bread-making began when a friend introduced her to homemade bread one holiday weekend - she was hooked! Gifted a starter, she has been baking ever since, finding it a delightful way to express her creativity. Madeline loves sharing the joy of bread baking with others and especially enjoys hosting children. If you have kids, feel free to bring them along for a fun, hands-on experience!

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience (1 - 8 guests) Immerse yourself in a private, 2-hour hands-on baking class where you’ll learn to master two delicious breads: sourdough and pretzels. Start by exploring the stages of bread-making, from mixing, stretching, and shaping to Dutch oven baking. While your sourdough bakes to perfection, you’ll dive into the art of pretzel-making, folding dough into classic salty and cinnamon-sugar twists.

Enjoy your freshly baked sourdough paired with sweet and savory compound butters and toppings like burrata with arugula or jalapeño cheddar. You’ll leave with a mason jar of sourdough starter, recipes, and care instructions to continue your bread-baking journey at home.

Relax and savor a couple of glasses of wine as you bake, learn, and enjoy this fun, interactive experience!
