Testimonials
“Spent two wonderful days at Riot Rye. Joe is a passionate baker and an excellent teacher. The course for Chefs & Cooks and Advanced Sourdough exceeded my expectations. If anyone wants to delve deeper into the magic of sourdough, then I cannot recommend Joe more highly.”
“Joe and Julie are most gracious hosts in their wonderful bakery. The course is full of practical advice for those who have been making sourdough bread but wish to refine their skills and improve their sourdough making techniques. Joe is generous and patient with his vast experience and understanding of sourdough baking and this course builds on the knowledge that many bakers may already have.“
“Thank you both for a wonderful day’s baking and learning, love going to Riot Rye – you will have to come up with another course as there is so much knowledge and experience in Joe’s head and course delivery format is so relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable and I even find it almost like therapy!!”
“Thank you very much for an excellent day at Riot Rye.
