Bake This Book Jonathan Stevens - Hungry Ghost Bread Book: An Offbeat Bakery's Guide to Crafting Sourdough Loaves, Flatbreads, Crackers, Scones, and More
Erik Fabian talks with Jonathan Stevens about this book: Hungry Ghost Bread Book: An Offbeat Bakery's Guide to Crafting Sourdough Loaves, Flatbreads, Crackers, Scones, and More.
Jonathan Stevens has been a bread baker for over thirty years.
His baking journey took him from stay-at-home dad, to cottage business to co-founding Hungry Ghost Bread in 2004 Northampton, MA with Cheryl Maffie. Hungry Ghost Bread has been nominated for a James Beard Award six times and has become an essential meeting place and source of excellent bread in their community.
Hungry Ghost Bread Book is his long-awaited, much-debated, deeply-fermented collection of bread and pastry recipes, techniques, production schedules, grain meanderings and a handful of poems. It is what 20 plus years of practicing the craft has refined: an approach to bread that emphasizes flavor, nutrition and connection to farmers, millers, eaters and the whole (pre-) history of wheat.
We talk about his book, about making cookbooks today, about poetry, and lots of nuances of making sourdough "that bites back".
