Bought this book thinking I was going to waste money again! Guess what, my fifth attempt worked beautifully and to top it off the instructions were so easy to follow. Previous attempts were all so involved and hard to manage. My sixth attempt was even better. Now I'm going to try my hand at recipes using the discard. Thank you again, what a great team you all are!” Sue See the full contents → uses & benefits This is a sourdough book for real life.
