Hands-on sourdough classes for home bakers in the Vancouver area
Master the Art of Sourdough
Sharing passion...
Hi! My name is Valentine...
For the past 10 years, I've been teaching cooking classes that bring people together through good food and simple techniques. Now, I'm sharing my passion for sourdough baking through in-home classes and community workshops around the Vancouver area.
Making it simple
Each class is designed to make sourdough approachable and practical — no fancy equipment required, just curiosity and a love of learning. You'll discover how to create and care for your starter, shape and bake your loaves, and fit sourdough baking into your everyday routine.
Building a community
Beyond the classes, we're building a community of sourdough enthusiasts — a place where everyone can share their experiences, ask questions, and support one another on their baking journey. Whether you're baking your first loaf or perfecting your crust, you'll always have a network of like-minded bakers to connect with.
Her expert tips and hands-on approach made the process feel accessible, even for someone who had never worked with sourdough before.

I like how the process of 2 day long sourdough making was explained in 3 hours and you get to finish off what you started in class. The bread turned out amazing and tasty. I highly recommend it.

Chef Valentine's passion for bread-making was contagious, making the workshop not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. I left feeling inspired and equipped to embark on my sourdough journey.

Class Act! Took Chef Valentine’s sourdough bread class and it was soooo much more than just a class. Learned a lot, played a lot and tasted a lot. Will definitely sign up for more classes.
