Join us for our Christmas Bread Day course, the heart of River Cottage’s festive cookery schedule. Here at HQ, we bake all our bread and love sharing our expertise in these bestselling classes. As the year winds down, our talented tutor chefs bring out special festive recipes, transforming everyday staples into delicious Christmas delights.
The day begins with the principles of bread making, inspiring you to leave behind shop-bought loaves and embrace the world of home baking. You’ll kick off practical sessions with a golden, buttery brioche before mastering a traditional farmhouse loaf, enhanced with sage, onion, and chestnut. You’ll also create salt-specked grissini, festive pizzas for Christmas Eve, and a Boxing Day focaccia made with delicious leftovers like roast potatoes, stuffing, and herbs.
Explore our beautiful old walled kitchen garden, enjoy tasters, and sit down to a delicious seasonal lunch prepared by our chefs. At the end of the day, you’ll head back up the hill, filled with Christmas spirit and carrying home your handmade treats!
