Sourdough, Anyone?

Published: March 11, 2021, 5 a.m.

Sourdough, frankly, does not set my world on fire BUT I know that for many people, making a successful sourdough is like finding the Holy Grail. So if you are that person, this is the episode for you.\nWhen we started the interview with Elizabeth and Dan Martin, I knew that Elizabeth had been doing a lot of sourdough bread baking. This was of interest to us for Season 6 because this was a new activity for her. That's where we began with the conversation. Little did we know that Elizabeth had taken all of the science and the folklore to heart and has become quite the expert on sourdough.\nShe was kind enough to share one of her boules with us and it is/was delicious, lovely bread. So thank you, Elizabeth!\nThis episode also turned out to be one of our funnier ones as well so you really must listen to the whole thing. But, if you want to jump around, here are some highlights to try out.\n02:47 - The interview begins officially\n03:33 - Dan (and the rest of the family) got COVID\n07:06 - They remodeled their kitchen\n11:20 - Funky food - if you can find it, you can eat it\n11:56 - The sourdough journey\n13:06 - The Herman sourdough starter\n14:13 - Sarah Owens (James Beard award-winning author) and her starter\n17:48 - Elizabeth describes her sourdough as "approachable"\n20:08 - Shards in a jar\n21:12 - It's all Kevin\n23:52 - What is hooch?\nIf you're interested, here are the questions we're asking everyone in some shape or form or other...\n\n* Did you ever feel excited about being able to stay home and cook more and explore foods you'd always wanted to but never had time for?\n* What did you make?
