with Nena Evans

Join Nena in the HKS Kitchen to learn the basics of crafting delicious sourdough bread. Come learn with us in this interactive and informative class. Enjoy a fresh sourdough loaf with spreads upon arrival as Nena delves into the science behind sourdough bread baking. You'll get to shape and bake a loaf to enjoy at the end of class. Nena will also lead you in making a take-and-bake dough to create another full loaf at home. Plus you will get to leave with some starter to continue your sourdough journey for years to come! Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.

*All class ticket sales are final. No refunds or credit transfers to other classes are available.*

MEET THE CHEF:

Born and raised in Arkansas, Nena Evans has a love for gardening, cooking, and the outdoors. Currently, Nena and her husband live in Mountainburg, where they have a cat and 13 chickens. They have dreams of owning their own veggie and livestock farm one day, and are slowing building that dream into reality. Nena's journey with sourdough started 2019 while she was working as the Garden and Nutrition Manager at the NWA Food Bank. One of the garden volunteers, a local pastry chef, shared her starter with Nena, and she's been baking ever since! She loves knowing what goes into her food and enjoys the process of crafting simple ingredients into something delicious and wholesome. Nena's starter, Breadly Cooper Hammer, is said to date back to the 1908 World's Fair. He has been lovingly cared for and passed down for generations. She's thrilled to share Breadly and her sourdough knowledge with you!
