Renowned Bread-maker Andrew Whitley, author of Bread Matters: why and how to make your own, is running courses in 'Baking for Community' (as well as standard 2-day courses) from a new site in Lamancha in the Scottish Borders, just down the road from Pete and Heather Ritchie and the wonderful Whitmuir Organics.
Andrew says:
At a time of recession, bank failures and climate conferences, there is much talk of ‘defining moments’, points after which things will never be (or seem) the same. While many (especially the unemployed and the hungry) ache for governments to act more decisively to stem threats to human wellbeing, some people are making their own provision for a changed world.
They’ve spotted that a global free-for-all that tramples the weak and ignores ecological limits won’t put bread on the table for good. So they are, in ever greater numbers, taking matters into their own hands. Home growing, preserving, making and baking are on the increase. Doing it yourself isn’t just a vote against processed pap, with its bland textures, hidden additives and nature-defying shelf-life. It’s a big step towards reasserting some control over how we feed ourselves and our families.
