Absolutely stoked with my YKS starter kit!
So easy to follow the intructions and have had 0 failed attempts. All 3 loaves I’ve made so far have been delicious, fluffy and stunning. Keen to make more!
Three beautiful loaves and zero failed attempts, what an incredible start, Renae! We’re thrilled the Starter Kit and instructions made the process easy, with delicious, fluffy results every time. Keep those stunning loaves coming! 😍🥖

I’m new to sourdough and was very curious to start. Following YKS on email and seeing all the encouragement Josh gave I decided to jump in (knees knocking). I ordered the kit and it arrived within days, I had no excuses now. The starter was a little tricky but when I put it on top of my coffee machine all was good (who knew we both needed a coffee lol). The proofing stage is my next challenge and when Josh sent an email on trouble shooting proofing I knew I was in good hands. Now I’m excited about this journey I’m on and I get to spend it in my favourite room, the kitchen 🥰 Thank you YKS team for being real
Who knew you and your starter both needed a little coffee, Vickie! We love that you pushed past those knocking knees and now feel excited and supported as you tackle each new stage. Your favourite room is about to become even more delicious! 🥰☕🥖
