Baking with wild yeast has been core to Vanessa Kimbell's work and life for over 30 years and her love of sourdough is unwavering. She's an award-winning author, inspirational teacher and writes, researches and teaches from her base at The Sourdough School.
The Sourdough School is more than a cookery school. It’s about sharing incredible scientific knowledge about the connection between bread and our gut microbiome. It’s supported by a network of medical professionals, scientists, wheat breeders, nutritionists, specialist bakers, researchers, academics.
Vanessa has been gathering research on sourdough and fermentation from all over the world, developing recipes and techniques. Her aim is to research and share what she finds, applying evidence and the practical application of fermenting and baking into delicious, affordable nutritious bread recipes to bake, to eat and to enjoy.
We're delighted to be sharing a little of Vanessa's work here and pleased to be helping create a series of Botanical Blends from our British-grown pulses and grains. Vanessa champions fresh flour. Packed with the full flavour and nutrition of whole grains, home-milled flours are hard to beat - see our mills and grists for more inspiration. |

Super quality oats in a paper bag and very good value. Organic feels like the standard at Hodmedods so these oats are no exception. Better flavour and texture than porridge oats in my opinion.
Just what I'd been looking for - it lifted the bread we make from our usual mix of flour and grains to a new level. We use at the percentage suggested by Hodmedod's and it works beautifully, adding great flavour. Highly recommended!
This emmer is absolutely delicious, and everyone we've served it to has loved it. We simmer it and combine it with sauteed (in olive oil) diced onion and garlic, chopped parsley, and toasted pistachios. It's good hot or room temperature and the leftovers are equally good. Everyone likes it so much that we keep giving away our bags of emmer to them, so it was great to stock up at the recent pop-up event.
We eat so many of these beautiful fresh crisp nuts. The best Brazil nuts we have ever eaten
I bought bags for all my family and we all loved the fact of being able to support the indigenous people directly. We hadn't expected to also rave about these nuts being the freshest and most delicious Brazil nuts we've ever eaten as well! Thank you for sharing this wonderful bounty from the Amazon people - directly to us in the UK!
