A James Beard Award Winner for Baking & Desserts

101 recipes for baking with whole and sprouted grains, making

the most of the seasonal harvest, and healing the body through naturally

fermented food

Sarah

Owens

spent years baking conventional baked goods, only to slowly

realize she had developed a crippling inability to digest or tolerate

their ingredients. Unable to enjoy many of her most favorite foods, she

knew she must find a health-sustaining alternative. Thus Sarah started

experimenting with sourdough leavening, which almost immediately began

to heal her gut and inspire her anew in the kitchen. Soon after, her

artisan small-batch bakery, BK17, was launched, and with that, a new way

to savor and share nutritious sourdough breads and treats with her

Brooklyn community.

Sourdough and other fermented foods are

making a comeback because of their rich depth of flavor and proven

health benefits. In Sourdough, Sarah demystifies keeping a

sourdough culture, which is an extended fermentation process that allows

for maximum flavor and easy digestion, showing us just how simple it

can be to create a healthy starter from scratch. Moreover, Sarah uses

home-grown sourdough starter in dozens of baked goods, including

cookies, cakes, scones, flatbreads, tarts, and more-well beyond bread.

Sarah is a botanist and gardener as well as a baker-her original

recipes are accented with brief natural history notes of the highlighted

plants and ingredients used. Anecdotes from the garden will

delight naturalists and baked-goods lovers among us. Laced with

botanical and cultural notes on grains, fruits and vegetables, herbs,

and even weeds, Sourdough celebrates seasonal abundance alongside the timeless craft of artisan baking.
