Emmanuel (and mini Emmanuel)

Emmanuel was our teacher today at the Artisan Bakehouse workshop. His calm, relaxed method, treating the dough gently, with time and care was revalatory, it was almost mindful. He was generous with his advice and expertise, and boy has he expertise and experience.

We made pretzels, bagels and grisinni and as there were only three of us at the workshop it was almost one to one tuition. Emmanuel answered so many questions linked to sour dough that we had too. A lovely, generous, quiet, calm man. I'm so pleased he agreed to be my 47th victim.

I'll let you read his biography on the link from another artisan baking school.

The knitted Emmanuel was made by a happy student and given to him a little after they'd attended the workshop.
The knitted work is amazing!

Love it. He has a great smile and he seems to have happy students. My hubby loves to bake. It’s hard to beat his bagels.

It sounds as if you had a remarkable time. This is a beautiful portrait of him to add to his knitted appreciation by student. FAV

What a great experience. I'm expecting to see some evidence that you are making at least one at home. Nice portrait of this talented gentleman.

Thank you all, I should have cloned out the fairy lights, but I wanted Emmanuel by the oven and they're too fiddly to do on my phone!
