Memory is so tightly linked to our senses. I love a good family tradition or routine, especially one linked to a sensory experience and of course food! S’mores from the outdoor fireplace on the first cool day of fall, harvesting our meyer lemons for our thanksgiving lemon tart, even simple ones like lighting the same candle every morning and playing jazz with low light in the morning for a peaceful start to each day. I feel like these rituals give our kids security, create comforting sensory memories, and make them feel safe. That was my motivation to start baking a house sourdough. Something we can add to our weekly routine that my kids can experience , count on and look forward to. I’m pretty proud of these loaves! It’s been fun to get the feel for the process and I’m excited to bring another fun, comforting, and delicious weekly routine to our home. 🤍 [ recipe: Tartine Bread and photo: my daughter Alba!]
