This chocolate cakes looks wonderful. I am inspired to begin using your starters, however, I know nothing about using them. Do complete instrucitons come with the first starter? I am enjoying your whole grain white flour and other flours too. Wish you had a cooking class in the Portland, Oregon area sometime. Your newsletter is terrific. Thanks for your kind words, Evelyn. Yes, complete instructions come with the starter. Plus there are lots of good sourdough tips here online. It seems daunting, but trust me, it's actually quite simple. Yeast (and tha tincludes sorudough) is much friendlier and forgiving than many not familiar with it would imagine... PJH
