My book will be out 31st March! A book? What book? Since October 2024 I have been working on a book called The Baker’s Percentage about how to make sourdough bread at home. A culmination of over 15 years of home baking led to this. But how it came about was also pure serendipity, for, a few years back, I attended a yoga class in Hepburn, met an editor there & asked for their number at the post yoga drinks event. Then, during Covid I noticed absolutely heaps of people were baking sourdough bread at home. It was fascinating to see how when time permitted, communities all over the world were expressing a deep love for sourdough bread baking. I was also following and still follow a Facebook page dedicated to sourdough bakers and saw all the questions people were asking on that page and all the answers I wanted to give. So a few years after that chance post yoga editor meet, I called the editor and blurted out my desire for a book... unbeknown to me the editor had been trying to bake sourdough during Covid with mixed results and as I explained my book idea & it’s contents, they suggested ‘perhaps you should call the book The Baker’s Percentage’ and I said ‘yes!’ absolutely ‘yes!’ and finally after doing my full spiel I realised that I was not talking to just an editor but speaking with a publisher who publishes cooking books among other genres! Well! Had I known all that prior to the call I would have been very nervous and my pitch would have surely come out less lucid and articulate. Within 24 hours of that call I had put my pitch in writing, sent it to my dear friend Amber Stephens in Melbourne for review and feedback, she sent it back asap with the most loving and enthusiastic support and hence off it went, the pitch, into the email box of Smith Street Books. From there the publisher made the process so amazing and easy that I can’t stop thanking them. But the bread baking journey started such a long time ago, well before Covid & a chance meetings at a yoga class… it all started with my beautiful inspiring friend Lise Temple, more on this in the book & even before Lise with my partner Ralf who worked at a sourdough bread bakery in Melbourne...see comments
