I’m a big fan of sourdough, having had my own bread pet for the last 23 years, so am overjoyed to see a picture book that celebrates the joy and responsibility of my slavish weekly ritual. I’ve ended up taking my pet on holiday with me due to the regular demands of feeding and in this fun story of a young girl and her mum left in charge of a friend’s sourdough starter I can so relate to how the sticky bread pet soon takes over the house. The illustrations playfully show the mathematical extent of the takeover but with some quick thinking and community spirit the rising bread pet problem is solved. With a starter recipe as well as care and baking tips at the back of the book you will soon be spreading the sourdough love as well.
