There is a wide variety of chemical cleaning products available today. But how did you manage to keep the house clean in the past? Our grandmothers used natural products for house cleaning and furniture maintenance. They are economical in price, low in consumption and also environmentally friendly. They can still be found in almost every household today. Salt, lemons, vinegar and baking soda, to name just a few, are supplemented by stronger substances such as ammonia, alcohol and soda. In this course you will be given numerous “cleaning tips”. You will learn how to use these old cleaning agents correctly in your home today and even how to produce some of them yourself.
In this course you will acquire the basic knowledge of traditional bread baking with sourdough.

At this birthday party we will create our own wood-fired bread and a birthday cake. The birthday guests learn about the traditional baking of previous generations in the rural bake houses and that it was not a matter of course to buy the bread at the bakery or in the supermarket. You will get to know the different types of grain and flour and how to use your strength to mix and knead the bread dough. While the bread is in the oven, we take care of the cake, which goes into the oven after the bread. At the end, the crispy bread and the delicious cake can be tried or taken home in containers that you have brought with you. Please remember to bring your own drinks.
