Tamarind bakery

Tamarind Bakery …an inspiration that began in the classroom…

As an English teacher in The Learning Community in Auroville, I was searching for a way take English out of the classroom and textbooks and into a real-life context … I decided to bring together 2 passions – children and baking and to begin teaching English through the medium of baking…

The ‘Baking English’ project was born, aiming to provide children with an experience where the learning of English is alive, spontaneous and relevant to what they are directly experiencing through practical, hands-on work. And then came the bakery…

Inspired by our experiences in the classes, I began experimenting with diverse recipes, with an emphasis on wholesome ‘homely’ cakes and cookies, as well as recipes catering for different dietary needs, such as veganism and gluten-free diets.
