More than 90 sourdough recipes, including how to make your own starter.This book is being written to furnish you with a complete and useful guide in sourdough cooking and baking. An additional purpose is to provide a description of how sourdough works and lives and the methods necessary to insure its continued good characteristics and longevity. This will guarantee that your sourdough starter will provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment. Thus, this guide will fill your stove, oven and dining table with delicious food products prepared during your sourdough adventure. It will bring back memories of the goodness of old fashioned banking, as well it should, since starters were the standard form of leavening in baking in this country up until the advent of commercial yeasts. The methods, descriptions and recipes in this book are designed not only for the cooks who have unlimited resources at hand but also for the cook, such as ourselves who must cook under somewhat less than ideal conditions. Each and every recipe contained in this book has been tested by the authors time and time again under not only the best possible kitchen condition, but also in drafty kitchens and using ovens with little temperature control. Each recipe has been test in San Francisco and also in rural Oklahoma in order that the recipes will be as well suited for the everyday cook as they are to the gourmet.
