Best gift I have purchased

I purchased the French Sourdough Starter Kit as a gift for my daughter Felicity, and she has absolutely mastered it! The kit was beautifully presented and came with everything she needed to get started. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and within no time she was baking delicious, crusty sourdough loaves that taste amazing.

It’s been such a joy watching her enthusiasm grow and seeing the wonderful results each week. This kit has truly sparked her love for sourdough baking — a perfect gift for anyone wanting to try something new and rewarding. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Rita! I’m thrilled to hear Felicity is enjoying the French starter and that the kit helped her dive straight into baking. It’s so special to hear it’s become something you can both share and celebrate — that’s exactly what I hope for when sending out each starter. Thank you again for such a thoughtful review!

Warm regards,

hydrated beautifully

The sourdough starter hydrated beautifully and we baked four delicious loaves already. Also baked some sourdough crackers with the discard . Yum.

Hi Meredith,

That’s fantastic to hear! I’m so glad the starter hydrated well and that you’re already baking such a variety with it. Four loaves and even crackers from the discard – you’re really making the most of it. Yum indeed!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and happy baking.

Warm regards,
Sandy

Producr deivered on time Yes

Producr deivered on time. I have never made sourdough anything before so this is the start. Thanks amazing starter and making another hobby now.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Ajith.
I’m glad to hear your starter arrived safely and on time. It’s exciting that you’re beginning your sourdough journey — it really does become a rewarding hobby. Wishing you many delicious loaves and enjoyable bakes ahead. If you ever need tips along the way, feel free to reach out.

Warm regards

Just perfect

Just perfect. ❤️❤️

I have never made sourdough anything before so this was a bit of a whim buying a starter

I have never made sourdough anything before so this was a bit of a whim buying a starter. I have now made 3 loaves and a batch of rolls which have all turned out brilliantly. All looked and tasted delicious. As we are only 2 in our household the rolls are definitely a more flexible option as I can make a batch and just cook a few at a time as we need them although a loaf works ok too just slice and keep in the freezer. No problems at all with the starter just follow the instructions and off you go.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s awesome to hear that your first few loaves and rolls have turned out brilliantly — that’s exactly the kind of success we love to see. Rolls are such a great idea for a smaller household, and freezing sliced bread is definitely a smart way to avoid waste.

Glad the starter is working well for you. Keep enjoying the baking journey — sourdough really is such a rewarding craft!

If you ever have any questions or want recipe tips, just let me know.

Happy baking!
Sandy

Making great Kefir

Arrived quickly and very much alive, I'm now making fresh Kefir daily! Super happy with the purchase. I've tried powders before, but they weren't as effective as these live grains.

Hi team

We had some questions when the kefir grains arrived and Sandy from the Fermentation Station was super prompt with her responses which helped a lot.
I can recommend The Fermentation Station highly.

Stick with a sharp end

It's a wooden-handled metal stick with a razor on the end. Makes a neat slash in your sourdough. Hooray etc. Comes with spare blades. Came with the Sourdough Master Kit which has mostly useful items, and some less useful clutter (pen, sticky labels).
