My wife and I had a wonderful morning with Danielle learning all the tips and tricks one can only get with years of experience. We will now be making our own bread weekly and will be better for it! Can't recommend enough. Many thanks

My husband and I took a beginners class with Danielle to celebrate our anniversary and learn something new together. It was such a wonderful experience, and Danielle is a very skilful and patient teacher. We both loved it and came away with lots of bread to eat and share with our loved ones.

What a great way to learn more about baking bread. Small class with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We covered so many aspects, some reminders, some new and some alternative methods like using the stand mixer. Thank you, a great morning.

I was bought this bread making course as a surprise birthday gift and loved it. Danielle makes you feel totally at ease and is clearly extremely knowledgeable. I loved learning a totally new way of kneading the dough and the end results were fantastic. We returned home with a huge haul of dough-based delights to share with the family. Thanks so much, Danielle x

Lovely course with Danielle on French Breads. Enjoyed making them and then eating them at home. Next step to have a go independently applying what I learnt using the instructions provided.

Highly recommend Severn bites bread making courses. I did the sourdough class and Danielle’s teaching was easy to follow with lots of information and tips. I’ve made several successful bakes since and so grateful to have learnt a skill for life. Thank you!

We had another fabulous morning with Danielle, this time learning about sourdough. She made us very welcome and expertly accommodated our different levels of experience. Danielle made the morning fun as well as informative, and we hugely enjoyed the products of our joint labours. We’ll be going back soon to try our hands at something else. High 6 recommended….

Very enjoyable and instructive, and a very fair price. Still trying to eat all the baguettes. The missing half in the photo was eaten on arrival home.

My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our bespoke French bread making course. Danielle made it fun and interesting and we learnt such a lot from her. She had done a lot of preparation to ensure that we were able to make the most out of our time and experience making a range of breads. Best of all we got to take home lots of lovely products.

I found a couple of 30 minute Zoom sessions invaluable. I needed some professional help to speed up the process of learning to bake with a new oven ( a used Rofco from a baker who was expanding their business). Danielle has not only given me essential tips about ovens but a wider range of advice on the process of fermentation etc: helpful when you feel you are loosing your way. Definitely recommended!

A really fantastic afternoon. Danielle was so helpful and full of handy hints. We came away with 6 sweet rolls, a granary style loaf and a focaccia. All absolutely delicious and I'm so delightful that I now have the hints and confidence to bake bread for myself after years of baking 'bricks'. 😂

I enjoyed a truly wonderful class last week. I'd already been on a couple other courses but was still struggling to make sense of their guidance. I learned some important points and clarified others this week and this weekend I enjoyed putting all those ideas into action with a baking session, and I was so happy to be able to produce the wonderful results in my own kitchen! Highly recommended, thank you Danielle

Having attended a bread making course previously it left me with some gaps which Danielle more than filled. Her knowledge and experience was willingly shared with all the participants. The bread we produced was delicious. Thank you

A very no nonsense sourdough class with a lovely knowledgeable lady in a beautiful setting, a well constructed course. I have been trying my hand at sourdough for a couple of years and attended some courses in the past and I have to say this was the best. I left with renewed enthusiasm to tackle sourdough baking that I have not been able to get quite right in the past. Thanks again Danielle it was very nice to meet you. I will let you know my progress grev x

We had a wonderful afternoon learning the art of sourdough making. We already had a little experience with sourdough, but were not managing to produce consistent quality loaves. Danielle tailored the class to us perfectly and we learnt so much in a couple of hours. She has created a simple method which is grounded in science and experience, and we can’t wait to put it into practice. I would highly recommend.

Danielle Ellis has helped me tremendously. She has guided me with my Rofco oven and mixer to make delicious sourdough bread. She is filled with a lot of knowledge and she has excellent advice. I appreciate meeting her over zoom meetings and helping me troubleshoot all my sourdough questions. She has helped me get the results I was looking for. Thank you!!!

I enjoyed a one-on-one baking day with Danielle which focused on sourdough bread and the Rofco oven. Although I had been baking for many years she really helped me with technique and had great suggestions for baking different loaves of bread. Her straightforward approach to baking bread and getting great results really stood out. I highly recommend her class.

I was bought a bread making class with Danielle as a gift and it was such a great experience! We added my mum onto the course as she is also an avid baker and we had such a great afternoon. Danielle is so informative and has such a great way of teaching that we were so at ease and surprised ourselves with our efforts. We are back on the bread making train, so inspired by Danielle and her knowledge. Thanks, Danielle!
