I found this course to be easy to follow. Loraine has a lovely way in how she explains things, very clear and natural. Everything was step by step and the videos were brilliant; it was like you were in her studio.There's a good range. I'm addicted to the Olive, Rosemary and Cheddar. I learned loads. I did contact Loraine to check about one of my proves, and she got back to me quickly with a simple tip. I will be dipping in and out of this course for a long time to come, to learn and improve my bakes. Great course, excellent value - thank you Loraine
Fantastic Course!
I started baking bread during lockdown but my bread wasn't really rising enough and was a bit tough. I really needed some help with it. I was delighted to find this course. I watched the course through first and then attempted the recipes and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I like how Lorraine explains every step fully and reiterates the important points. She makes it really easy to understand. I also like how you feel Lorraine is there with you in the workshop helping you along. These breads will definitely be in my repertoire for many years. Would highly recommend it.
I have watched tons of youtube videos, bought the bread books but I still couldn't make bread and didn't know why. I had been following Loraine on Instagram and saw all her beautiful creations so I was happy to see she had released a course. The format of the course makes it easy to learn. It's broken down into sections which makes it convenient to rewatch the different parts. The videos are really clear, you can see every detail. It's actually so simple when you follow the steps. Loraine is so knowledgeable and explains everything really well so it was easy to recreate them myself. I'm so happy I can finally bake bread.
"I’ve been following Loraine for a number of weeks now and it’s been such a lovely and positive experience. She has tonnes of patience and explains tasks very well in an easy to follow and fun way. My son and I have had such fun baking along and we’ve both learned some amazing new skills."
"Had super fun for our staff night out decorating our face cookies and then guessing who did who. Brilliant fun for all ages".
"Brilliant fun today at Killruddery Market with Devoted to Bakes in decorating our gingerbread trees. Can't recommend highly enough for adults and children@.
"Loraine is extremely creative and patient when teaching. What I loved most is that Loraine knew which skills to teach me and made it look so easy. She really considered the foundations of baking and built my skills up gradually ensuring I was secure at each stage. She planned the lessons so thoughtfully that she made each step simple to follow and I would always have something to take away with me and feel proud of."
"Delicious recipes and simple instructions. Loraine makes baking really enjoyable for both kids and grown ups. Highly recommend"!
"We have all thoroughly enjoyed the great bake alongs with Loraine. My 3 kids have participated and have been very proud and amazed at what they could bake! It has been so great to make baking part of our routine here. We are all very grateful".
"We did the bake along twice and found it great fun with a tasty treat at the end! Delighted that we found the site!"
"Everything was planned perfectly. Loraine arrived and set-up the table beautifully, she then delivered the class brilliantly - she really had the girls enthused! I cant recommend enough, thank you Loraine".
"Loraine is such a patient and attentive teacher and her workshops and parties are great fun. My daughter keeps going back for more and I highly recommend Devoted To Bakes."

Yes. I will guide you through the whole process step by step and explain the the "how' and"why" of what we are doing. Whether you are a beginner or improver, you will pick up essential information on the functions of adding different ingredients and the science behind the process.
The joy of this is that you can move at your own pace, re- watch and pick up different tips and techniques each time. Once you purchase the course, you have lifetime access to the videos and recipes.
There are a few essential items that I recommend: Casserole Dish/Dutch Oven/Cast Iron Dish , a Banneton ( bread proving basket) and a sharp knife/blade.

As you progress on your baking journey you can pick up extra tools along the way.
I will teach you how to make your own robust Sourdough Starter from scratch. I include lots of trouble shooting along the way for great success.
