Herman the German

This morning my friend Cheryl popped over to give me Herman, a sourdough starter for a German friendship cake. It's a cute idea. You feed and care for Herman according to the instructions, and then after 10 days he gets very hungry and you feed him apples, raisins and much more besides and he turns into a cake! If you live nearby and would like a Herman of your very own to care for, please let me know and I'll drop him over next week once he's grown a bit.

  2. Excellent, he will be ready to collect on Tuesday, anytime except 1-2pm is good. Will email separately to arrange! We are still making sourdough and have the starter still going. Yesterday's loaf was very good. I haven't been very adventurous and keep making the same old loaf, just varying the flours a little. But we haven't bought packaged bread for ages which is great!
