Today I ate the best sourdough I’ve ever had, and it came out of my own oven, from sourdough I cultivated from outside my back porch! It’s a REAL San Francisco Sourdough! Crusty (but not too crusty!) crust, moist, supple interior, a perfect “tear it in your mouth” crumb, and the sourdough flavor was… indescribable! […]

Bread is very simple. Here is my new favorite bread recipe. I started with the Best Recipe recipe for “Rustic Bread” and simplified it because I’m lazy. It comes out terrific. It takes less than 5 minutes work. Yes, really. Put 6 cups all purpose flour, 2 tsp salt, 3 tsp yeast in big bowl […]

You might think the following article is about the psychology behind wacky food crazes, and it is. But it isn’t. But it is, at a much deeper level than you think. It is very worthwhile to read and contemplate. Don’t read this article here. Read it on the Pacific Standard website instead. There you will […]
