Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I had to work on some household projects, but hopefully back a bit more regularlyagain now. It’s good to see some activity here.
This is just some sourdough bread I made using a starter gifted by my brother. I couldn’t resist cutting it whilst it was still slightly warm:)

You’ve been watching too many cookery programmes on TV! I am glad that your household projects have completed (hopefully successfully). The bread looks pretty inviting and would do well for the sandwich I shall need at lunchtime when out today! It’s interesting that the framing makes that little jug seem just a tiny bit human.

I think the white balance helps create the warm homely feel that comes with the smell of warm bread.

Thanks for commenting.
The other projects are now at the stage that I can give myself a little bit of time back to make some pictures and, next, to start a bit of writing again… I hope.
Actually, I don’t watch TV cookery programs at all. I find their blend of aspiration and image far from my enjoyment of food and breaking bread. However, the base recipe for the sourdough does emanate from a River Cottage book. I like the notion of the human jug too.
Rex, yes I left the white balance quite warm to reflect the environment the picture was taken in.

the bread looks very good, I’ve tried soudough from my own starters made according to a Weston A Price book, did not work out quite as good looking as this. Christmas this year I was given rye flour, ginger, flax seeds and a tray, still wonderng what to make.
Warm and homely, the warmth on my monitor makes the colour balance very obvious and for me that detracts, a little.

I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to taste this in person. In the meanwhile, the picture is the next best thing.
