Customer Appreciation from Sea Wolf Books’ newsletter:
Faye and Dan were in town for the square dance festival (and pie eating.) Dan has been baking bread his whole life and is using a sourdough starter that’s great, great, great granddough traces back to Yukon Alaska’s gold rush in 1897. They just celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. They decided on The Hungry Ghost Bread Book: An Offbeat Bakery’s Guide to Crafting Sourdough Loaves, Flatbreads, Crackers, Scones, and More by Jonathan Stevens.
About the book: “The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a delicious guide and a pious devotional to the wonderful, awe-inspiring world of sourdough. What does it mean to take on the practice of bread? Jonathan Stevens, co-owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton, Massachusetts, has pondered this question over thirty years of baking sourdough bread. Baking is a ritual that demands attention, physical proximity, close observation, and continual adjustment. It begets sustenance, fosters community, and connects us with a 10,000-year-old craft.”
