Join acclaimed baker, author, and fermentation expert Michael James for an immersive, hands-on workshop exploring the art of savoury pastries at The Agrarian Kitchen.

Michael first rose to prominence as the co-founder of Melbourne’s iconic Tivoli Road Bakery, where his commitment to traditional techniques and seasonality helped redefine artisan baking in Australia. Now, he continues to innovate through his newest venture, Urbanstead - a produce-driven bakery and kitchen in Abbotsford, Melbourne, with a focus on sustainable baking, community, and connection to the land.

In this full-day workshop, Michael will guide you through a delicious array of savoury pastries - from hand-laminated tarts and pies to enriched doughs filled with bold, seasonal flavours. You'll learn the techniques behind his signature approach: thoughtful fermentation, careful dough handling, and a deep respect for ingredients.
