FAQs
1.) When will I receive my Zoom link?
As soon as you sign up. The link will be sent in your confirmation e-mail. You’ll also receive additional class reminders (via email) with the link again. Don’t forget to check your spam box.
2.) What if I can’t make class? Or I forget to attend?
All sessions are recorded. This means, when you book your spot, all participants will be sent a separate Zoom access link to watch the show later on, 24 hrs. after it airs.
3.) Are your sourdough classes bake-along style?
This is optional. If you are a beginner, I recommend viewing only to fully digest all steps and techniques and to take notes. Additionally, there are many “rests” in bread baking; bake-alongs might not be practical for some recipes. It’s up to you.
4.) What if we have questions? Will there be a Q&A?
Yes! At the end of class, we’ll chat. I’ll answer your questions then.
5.) What is your refund policy?
Refunds are not available for live classes.
Reviews
Emilie’s beginner sourdough was the perfect amount of detail without being overwhelming. She has a friendly way of making sourdough seem approachable. I’ve learned so much from her book (I’ve gotten as gifts for friends and family) and now her class! I highly recommend!!
