Being a home baker is such an important part of my life that I chose it as one of my key features to introduce myself. I love making sourdough bread and perfecting its flavours and techniques. What does this have to do with Ireland?

My home baking started out of a necessity, namely not finding a great variety of bread when I first came to Ireland. Whilst I devour Irish brown and soda bread, as a German I missed my sourdoughs and healthy rye breads. Once I got into home baking, I was hooked.

As a stay-at-home mom I have come to appreciate experimenting with recipes in both, cooking and baking. I finally mastered the sourdough in 2020. My kids might not be as excited about home baking as I am, but surely appreciate a freshly-cut loaf in their lunch boxes and the mouth-watering smell all over the house.
