Sourdough and Solitude — BigSkyChef Craft

A journey of craft and quiet. Sourdough and Solitude is a BigSkyChef.org production — a companion piece to the Sourdough 101 curriculum from the Career Menu Collections of Culinary Specialist Thomas M. Miller. The image was made in a modern kitchen with floor-to-ceiling mountain views — the kind of space that makes you understand why someone would choose bread as a life's work. Thomas M. Miller, Culinary Specialist, works the dough by hand. The loaves are already shaped on the board behind him. The candles are lit. The mountains are dark. This is what solitude looks like when it is chosen rather than imposed. The quiet of a kitchen at the end of the day, when the work is almost done and the bread is almost ready. Sourdough 101: an exploration of traditional and modern bread craft. The starter, the ferment, the score, the bake. Everything that makes a loaf worth making. BigSkyChef.org.
