Thank you to everyone who attended my Sourdough Bloom ‘Discard Workshop at Leaning Ladder Premium Olive Oils and Vinegars yesterday! We had so much fun baking Brown Butter Chocolate Chip ‘Discard Cookies' and experimenting with so many delicious Olive Oil flavors in the ‘Discard Cracker recipe. I loved spending time with all of you!!! 🍪🌸❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined my Sourdough Bloom Inclusions 101 Workshop. It was so much fun bringing Fall vibes to this workshop with apples, flowers, and a Fall-season simmer pot to fill the room with a seasonal scent. Looking forward to seeing so many of you at the upcoming sourdough workshops at Leaning Ladder Olive Oil. 🍎🍞🌸
