But let's talk specifically about why you would want to do this. Wardeh at GNOWFGLINS™ has done a lovely job explaining it on her video which she has graciously allowed me to share with you. And this will give you an idea of some of the things you learn in her eCourse.
The eCourse is really great for visual learners like me. I can read about it and then watch it over and over on the video. And there's audio, too, if you want to listen that way as well. I've done that when I was taking the Fundamentals class last year. It was nice listening as I worked on the item I was making. Another feature I like is that I can do these at my own pace when I have time. And this go around, I'm going a bit slower so I can become proficient before moving on to the next item.
Wardeh also has a Sourdough eCourse which I'm doing next, right after I get the dairy culturing down. (My family is trying to wait patiently for me to get on to the sourdough!) In fact, she has a new eBook, Sourdough From A to Z, that is a companion book to the eCourse which was just recently released and ready for purchase! If you purchase the book before April 11th, you'll receive a coupon for a free thank you video of your choice from her archived collection!

I tweeted about the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI posted a link on my facebook page
ReplyDeleteI blogged about the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAll the classes look great. I think I might try the sourdough first, but the culture dairy is a close second.
ReplyDeleteThe courses look great! I'd love to try making my own cheeses! But sourdough?...oh.. We love sourdough!!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted this article.
ReplyDeleteThe Fundamentals eCourse looks interesting. Lots of topics covered.
ReplyDeleteI visited the website...I would love to learn more about the basics and also Sourdough A to Z....these look very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI really like the looks of the Sourdough Course. I really would like to learn how to make breads and baked goods more naturally. Plus, if it helps any from being more independant, it sure would do a lot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway - thank you for hosting it! After you talked about culturing dairy in a previous post, I clicked your link through to their site and had a good look around. What amazing teaching tools! My favorite is definitely the sourdough section, and I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that book, but I would be happy to take every course they offer.
ReplyDeleteI'm saving my pennies to fit it in the budget - thanks again for the giveaway! :)
I love it all and have plans to become a member. I really would love to have the Sourdough from A to Z. Just getting started in the world of making my own foods has been exciting and this would help a lot.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the sourdough book!!! I'm trying to make my own bread and I have yet to get it right.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Amy, the course i am most interested in (ironically) is sourdough. This reminds me of making sourdough when I was a young teenager. Even though my Granny didn't like sourdough she would help me make it, fostering my love and interest in baking. I have since gotten out of practice but am so excited to start again! I hope to start other courses as well, AFTER sourdough!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this giveaway. We are slowly making changes to become more self-sufficient in our way of living. The idea of knowing what is in the food you are eating and that you made it is a very satisfying feeling. The website is great and seems very informative.
ReplyDeleteI would like to take the ecourse on cultures and basic cheese making. I love cheese (all kinds) and a fresh healthy one would be great.
ReplyDeleteI am most interested in taking the cultured dairy course because we have lots of milk from our cow and need to use it:) I have not had luck with sourdough so maybe this book would help me.
ReplyDeleteI facebooked about this. :)
ReplyDeleteTweeted this too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this give-away! I want to take the fundamentals course most because it covers such a wide variety and I am a beginner to this way of cooking/fermenting. I need alot of help :)
ReplyDeletethanks again!

I posted this on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHaving a small herd of dairy does due soon, the cultered dairy course looks to be extremely informative and helpful. Making our own healty dairy items is not only frugal, but good stewarship for our health as well.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your websight- so informative with such a beautiful layout.
What a great site...I love the fundamentals course. We have just recently gotten more serious about eating whole foods and knowing where our foods come from. This ecourse just seems like a logical next step.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Does it have to be only one of Wardeh's courses that interests me? It's so hard to pick just one (dairy? sourdough? crockpot soap?), but I'll go with her sourdough eCourse. I've been baking sourdough with some success for a while now and have even made my own starter; however, I'd love to take advantage of all her tips and recipes to expand my sourdough horizons! Thanks so much for offering this giveaway. Blessings, ~Lisa
ReplyDeleteAmy, do you have your own cow... and if so what breed?
ReplyDeleteShelly, I don't have a cow. A few friends have talked about going in on one together - possibly a mini-jersey. I've also been learning about getting heifers with A2 beta casein. We have lots of details to work out and no one is moving fast on it at the moment. Right now my goal is to get a barn up so we can get a couple of goats. In the meantime, I get my goat milk from my friend and goat-mentor.
ReplyDeleteI've been really tempted to buy the sourdough ebook ! I tried sourdough breads a year ago and while I had success with the one particular bread I made, I really wanted to branch out to other baked goods but I just have too many unanswered questions to jump in and don't have the time to waste on flopped experiments. I'd love the cultured dairy course at some point when we have our own milk source. Thanks for the giveaway !
ReplyDeleteWho WOULDN"T want to make their own cheese!!!! Checked out the site and asked some friends on FB if they've seen this. Cheese would definitely be my first pick! jenbaerg@yahoo.ca
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't read about food when I'm hungry. Nice site. I'd start with the Fundamentals of Traditional Cooking class, which sounds great. I so wish I had access to raw milk from either cows or goats.

Count me in...please!!! xo
ReplyDeleteI want to take them all! I can't choose just one... She's a wealth of knowledge...
ReplyDeleteOh...and I blogged about the giveaway too!

I would LOVE to have the sourdough A to Z course because it looks like an all inclusive instruction to learning about sour dough!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for pointing out the GNOWFLIN website. I had come across it before but never really looked at it in depth. I am very interested in the courses about dairy but I also spent some time looking at the sourdough class. I eat gluten free and I realized that she has adapted the course to include making sourdough gluten free. Very cool! Thanks so much
ReplyDeletedefinitley cultured dairy, as we have backyard goats who give us lots of delicious milk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great website, all the courses & books look very interesting- The Sourdough course looks very intereswting to me- I didn't know there were so many things you could make with sourdough- I love baking, but have never tackled sourdough- this would be great to learn. The other courses look great as well. Great giveaway- Thanks- April
ReplyDeleteWe just got our milk goats yesterday and I aim to make my own goat cheese. I do miss sourdough, though but, just can't tolerate gluten.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the Sourdough book, so I would love to take her e-course with it! :-)
ReplyDeletestaceface81@gmail.com
Another terrific giveaway, Amy!
ReplyDeleteI love all the courses but, because I am purchasing raw milk, right now, the Cultured Dairy Foods is of interest to me! I am not able to take the ECourse on my dial-up connection, so I am hoping to join a friend and take it together on her computer! I do so want to learn to make cheese! I am already making butter and have the buttermilk from that to use in baking. It is so good!
The Sourdough A to Z Course appeals to me most. I've already done a bit of culturing but had no success with sourdough.
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my Facebook page with a link to this post.
ReplyDeleteOh my..I am in love!!Now if I could just come up with some money to take this Milk course!!Thank you so much for sharing this.I am also a "Got to see learner" I viewed a few complimentary sights and nobody seems to explain it as well as she does.And learning to make my favorite sourdough...well it doesn't get any better than that.Thanks for doing this.

I would love to be able to take the sourdough course. I don't have much luck when it come to the bread. However, I did just yesterday into this morning make the english muffins from the fundamentals class. Not too bad for a first try. I learned so much from the first course I took from her and would highly recommend any that she has or will produce. Thanks for hosting the give away.
ReplyDeleteI think the sourdough would be great! Especially since then i could make the best chocolate cake ever (according to lots of bloggers) :)
ReplyDeleteHeather
I would definitely do the dairy course. Buying dairy products at the store is such a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd try the sourdough course and maybe the soap making in a crock pot. Haven't tried making it that way:) I think my daughters would also love the farmers cheese. Another good way to use up our raw milk! Great website and great giveaway:)
ReplyDeleteWere your ears ringing...you have been blogged about....lolThanks agin for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI going to start some culture in the morning.

I started playing with sourdough and would love this ebook or take this dairy culture class! Sign Me UP!
ReplyDeleteThe Sourdough ecourse really interests me. I keep on wanting to start a sourdough culture but haven't...
ReplyDeleteI blogged about this giveaway today. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the gnowflin website. So many of the e-courses are tempting. I'm especially interested in soap and cheese making, but the bread making looks great too........ It would be wonderful to win the sourdough book!
ReplyDeletem23boys@me.com
They all look great! But since we have raw dairy that needs using, I think the dairy culture class would be where to start.
ReplyDeleteFor me it would definatly be he fundamental's course... I still have tons to learn!
ReplyDeleteYour posts always get to me - either make me smile, make me think, make me get up off my tookus. Today, you made me get up off my tookus with a smile on my face and a thought in my head: How much more milk is in my fridge?
ReplyDelete:) Thanks!
I would love to be able to take all of the courses she offers! I used to make sourdough bread from a starter and it always failed, so that course might be what I'd try first. Though the dairy is very appealing because my family eats cheese almost as often as they breathe!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest difficulty right now would be to find a source for fresh wheat and/or raw milk. We just moved to a new area and I don't know much about it.
I like their course on sourdough!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I'd love to win this book!
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering ANOTHER great giveaway! I blogged about it! Have a blessed weekend:)
I would say the culture dairy would be number one on my list!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take every course! But, if I had to pick one for now, it would be the course on sourdough. Though I do make my own bread, for some reason, I am intimidated by sourdough.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take the dairy course. I'm on the Atkins diet right now and would love to learn how to make the most nutritious dairy products for those that are allowed on the diet.
ReplyDeleteThe classes look wonderful! I would be most interested in taking the sourdough class. My efforts to make a sourdough starter have been less than successful. Mine never grow and expand the way they should. They bubble just fine, but they don't increase in size. I'm also not sure about the amount of liquid that seems to separate and form on top of the starter. I would love to learn how to create and maintain a starter and reach the stage where I am learning to bake with the help of a sourdough starter.
