I am thinking of going to James MacGuire's class at King Arthur in October (The Art of Rustic Bread). I have never been to one of their classes and would like to know what to expect. They don't seem very long (4 hours on Saturday). Are they worth it?

I don't know anything about James MacGuire, but can highly recommend any bread classes taught by Richard Miscovich.

I attended the "master class" last year with James McGuire and Jeffrey Hamelman and really enjoyed it. James has great experience and knowledge of the subject matter and he is generous in sharing it. In addition, he is the number one bakery raconteur. Richard Miscovich and Ciril Hitz are colleagues and friends of mine. They are great bakers and great teachers, and know how to have fun with the subject. Go if you can.

I went to a class and it was too basic. I think the problem was that the audience had a lot of new bakers or wannabes, but all the demos were geared to basic bread making. I wouldn't go back.

There are classes for every level of experience, from beginner to professional. If you are unsure of your level or which level will be taught, give them a call.

I went to a basic class when they were in Wichita. It was okay considering it was free. I would definitely want to go for more advanced classes in the future when they travel the classes.

It is good to be a BBQ Judge.  And now it is even gooder to be a Steak Cookoff Association Judge.  Life just got even better.  Woo Hoo!!!
