A beginner’s guide
Your First Sourdough
Most people give up on sourdough in the first fortnight. Not because they did anything wrong — but because nobody told them what the jar was supposed to look like, or what to do on the evening it does nothing at all.
So I wrote the book I wish that person had. It takes you from never having baked a loaf, to one with a crackling crust and an open crumb that you made yourself — and, more importantly, to understanding why it worked.

You will need a starter
Every recipe in the book was tested with the starter I send out — the one that grew out of my grandad’s, which he kept going for forty-six years. It goes out live and never dehydrated, so it wants one feed and a few hours rather than a fortnight of faith. Chapter one assumes nothing more than that.
