The closing chapter of this book was written so beautifully it made me tear up, so there’s that.

This is a splendid deep-dive into the history and science and art of sourdough, written in such a creative and comprehensive manner. I learned so much! Turns out the history of bread is fascinating. It was also neat following the possible journey taken by Eric’s century(+) old starter; the way that was woven through the whole book. 

Sourdough rocks, and I my appreciation for it has grown significantly thanks to this book. I’m excited to continue baking and to see where my sourdough journey takes me next!
