ABA baking workshops are being organised in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria (Australia) for August - September 2008.

This year's workshops will be held over a 2 day period, so that we can include sourdough starter and leaven making. Gatherings are for home bakers and professional bakers...in particular we would like to see more home bakers attend and 'partner up' with a professional and exchange tips.

Details will be posted here.

There are a few good

There are a few good bakeries in Tasmania and, of course, good ol' Alan Scott. We just have to get their attention and assure them that people would turn up.

If the August dates fall

If the August dates fall within 16th and 24th, as well as 30/8 to 1/9, there's a good chance of me joining something somewhere. Boonderoo is too early for me, by a week...besides, it looks a bit complicated to reach. The family is looking forward to a holiday in Tasmania...we haven't covered it yet.

Brisbane Gathering in August

Hi all,

Artisan Baker Association are please to announce a 1 day sourdough baking gathering in Brisbane. The event will take place in a fully equiped bakery at the Ekka (a big and friendly community show/festival) on August 10, 2008, in Brisbane, Australia. Thank you to
NBIA for kindly providing us with this space.

Absolutely everyone is invited to attend and view the demonstration. Additionally, ABA members are encouraged to actively participate in the bake and receive personal tuition. Please come prepared to get your hands in the dough. An apron and baker's cap will be provided.

This is a free event, except for any entry fees to the Ekka showgrounds. If you have a friend or family there is lots to do besides our event...so bring them along. We will be baking all day on August 10. Come along at a time that suits you.

Our guest bakers for the day are Jesse Downes and Rob Booth from Flour Bakery on the Gold Coast. These are absolutely 2 of Australia's finest artisan bakers...Jesse trained with  his dad, John, and has experience at several Australian bakeries. Jesse is now managing the bake at Flour. Rob trained at Milawa Factory as well as having prior baking experience as a qualified baker.

Come along!
