Since sharing my recipe for fermented buckwheat bread (my last blog post), I’ve had really positive feedback from people who have tried it and love it – for all the same reasons that I do: it’s super easy, it’s affordable, it’s sensitive-gut-friendly, and most importantly, it’s yummy! So now I’m hoping that I’ll get a
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might be surprised to learn that my gluten-free sourdough starter is now languishing in neglect at the back of my fridge since I discovered fermented buckwheat bread (poor thing!). Since making my first experimental loaf, I have baked only buckwheat bread, because not only is

The past couple of weeks have passed by in a total blur, as we have sold our house in Hamilton East, moved ourselves across town to my father-in-law’s house, and then discovered that we (and he) have FAR too much stuff that we really don’t need. When there’s not enough room, something’s got to go,
