There is something almost primal about sourdough. Flour, water, salt, time — and the quiet magic of fermentation. That gentle tang, the blistered crust, the open crumb that pulls apart in warm, fragrant strands. It is bread as it has been made for centuries — slow, patient, alive with character.Our new sourdough bread bases honour that tradition beautifully. T

Days becoming noticeably longer, fresh shoots beginning to appear (especially around the Mediterranean), and the natural world was quietly stirring again.

Garlic was once a spice to be kept at a distance. Its smell lingered too long, spoke too loudly, and refused to behave. In parts of Europe it was barred from temples, courts, and polite society, believed to offend gods and unsettle the refined. To eat garlic was to risk being j
