Now taking bookings for our next workshop, when we'll learn how to make focaccia with our dear friend !

Hannah Bironzo founded The Gypsy Baker sourdough workshops during the 2020 lockdown, beginning with Zoom sessions teaching friends how to bake sourdough loaves and care for their own starter. Within weeks, the project had grown into a thriving community of bakers across the UK and beyond - bringing connection, nourishment, and joy during uncertain times.

At Waste2Taste, Hannah invites you to join a soulful _introduction to sourdough_ workshop where you’ll learn to make delicious Italian sourdough focaccia using her beloved starter, _Alessandra_ (who comes with a story of her own!).

You’ll shape and decorate your focaccia, enjoy tasting it together during the session, and leave with your own jar of starter, practical sourdough knowledge, and a smile on your face.

Join us on Friday 12 June, from 10am till 12pm, here at our community café on Craufurd road OX4 2SQ, on the ground floor of the Shotover View BPHA Centre.

As usual the session is free to attend and we'll provide all ingredients and tools, but we have only 10 spaces available so booking your place early is crucial!

Send us a DM or an email to [email protected] to secure your spot.

As we don't always have time to check the comments on our posts, a comment might be missed so please do email or DM, and wait for our confirmation of your booking.

Welcome back everyone! How was your Bank Holiday weekend? And how are you coping with the heatwave?

Our garden is looking lush with all the flowers in bloom, and most tables are not in direct sunlight, so why not have lunch outside today?

Or maybe just an iced coffee. Perhaps a piece of cake?

It's half term so we are doing free meals for kids as usual, and the weather will be marvellous all week, so we hope to see you soon!

The café is open Tuesday to Friday, 9.30am till 2.30pm

Find us on Craufurd road OX4 2SQ, on the ground floor of the Shotover View BPHA centre, open to all and welcoming everyone

In the previous couple months we had the pleasure to collaborate with a group of Media Production students from Brookes University who, as a project for their course and to support local social enterprises like us, have produced a few, brilliant short videos highlighting our work with food and the community.

We are now ready to share them with you, with our heartfelt thanks to Cole (director), Stephen (producer), Gabriel (cinematographer) and Egor (editor) - and their teacher Stephan.

You guys did an awesome job!
