Food is central to our lives at home. It brings people together and that feels more important than ever right now.

A major trend at home in 2020 is using the extra time we have to learn new skills, especially sourdough baking which is so hot right now.

Our guest today on At Home with Lauren Keenan has been helping people all over Australia to upskill during lockdown. Anneka Manning is a successful food writer, editor and author and the founder of Bake Club Australia with baking classes in person and now online too. Find out why so many people are taking her sourdough course and why we are retreating to traditional food foundations like bread and baking during the pandemic.

And the links for Lauren's Lovely List recommendations in this episode: send flowers to a friend - Little Flowers, Daily Bunch, Floraly - revisit your holiday snaps or ours using #keenaneuro18, and read The Dutch House by Anne Patchett.

Get in touch if you have a topic you want us to talk about on the podcast. Same goes if you want to hire Lauren to help create your perfect home.
