On Stella + Sourdough

Oh hi.

It’s been a while. A full two years and more. A lot of things have change around here, but the most important thing has stayed the same. Food. Good food. That’s what we’re here for. So thank you for coming back.

So where have I been these passed years? Well to start I became a mom. A full year ago now our little baby boy came into this world and our whole lives were forever changed. Oh he is just the sweetest thing and he has made us a family. He’s on the move now, ready to explore his world the second his eyes open and is always in the mood for more sweet potatoes.

And me? Slowly but surely I am becoming a baker. The blog, the recipe development and the food photography has all taken a back seat to my true kitchen love. Her name is Stella. My sourdough starter. She has been around for more than three years now and we have come a long way together. From the first few bricks I pulled out of the oven, to teaching sourdough workshops and now – selling bread to our community at the farmer’s market. Maybe you’ve come here because you purchased a loaf or a sourdough starter kit. If so, thank you. And welcome.

In addition to my sourdough workshops, I try to offer baking tips and advice on instagram. So please join me there and reach out anytime! I could talk about sourdough for hours. I’m still learning and I think I always will be, baking bread is humbling that way. So is becoming a parent. It was been an incredibly grounding and also rewarding time for me. I’m still doing some private catering in Revelstoke, as well as continuing my work for the Local Food Initiative. Food. Good Food. That’s what we’re here for, right?

Much love,

Jodi + Stella.
