Helpful and great starter
As a sourdough newbie I was a little confused about whether to order dry or wet starter, and probably got the wrong one. Then wasn't clear on the instructions as to how to mix the dry starter. But I called for help and got it promptly, and my first loaf turned out brilliantly, so I think the starter must be very good quality!
Sorry to say not a good experience.
The starter I received wasn’t flakes as I expected, more like a hard biscuit that I had to try and break up with a rolling pin and wooden spoon. It hasn’t come to life when added to water. When I messaged for advice I was referred to instructions on the site that I had already followed.

Really useful buy
I bought the silicone insert for my Dutch oven for bread making and it works a treat and saves on endless parchment paper - would highly recommend. I bought this after a recommendation from YouTuber Ali lives Well - brilliant channel to watch if you want to save money
As a professional baker
As a professional baker, I’m always on the lookout for innovative tools that enhance my baking process. The silicone molds are a game changer—no more greasing pans! They release my creations effortlessly and make for stunning presentations. The variety of sizes and shapes is perfect for all kinds of baked goods. I’ve also appreciated the easy-to-follow recipes that challenge me while introducing new techniques.

Delighted with the kit
Delighted with the kit. Unfortunately the jar broke (probably a heavy handed postman) but the owner was lovely and very quick to arrange a replacement for the ruined starter, flour etc. He also provided plenty of baking tips. Many thanks
