“Flour, water salt “
By Kat Riach
With so many of the foods we consume these days containing a multitude of unpronounceable ingredients, there is something pleasing and simple about being able to produce a staple food with just three ingredients. During this talk, we will look a bit into the magic that happens when flour, water and salt are mixed together, and how the process of producing sourdough has changed over the years.’
