Online baking course “ALIVE BREAD”

“Stages of social distancing: denial, anger, negotiation, depression, SOURDOUGH BREAD, acceptance. “

– a comic tweet that became viral during the lockdown.

Maria Kalenska Online Cooking School invites to the sourdough baking course with a Slovak baker and cookbook author @my.ko.la.

The first lockdown stopped our usual life and many of us suddenly had time to learn. According to statistics, the most demanded skill during this period was the ability to bake bread at home. If you have spent the first quarantine time differently, I invite you to join our course.

There are good and bad sides during the pause the world takes. The bad news is that the restaurant industry is going through very hard times. The good thing is that we now have access to specialists who were previously not available and did not take part in teaching, and I am glad that I can introduce you to one of such specialists.

Mykola believes that anyone can learn how to bake bread.
