Barley: Canada’s latest ancient grain gaining recognition

Barley: Canada’s latest ancient grain gaining recognition

We already eat barley in soups, stews and as sides like salad or risotto. It is delicious, very filling and healthy! This article quotes a local farmer George Wright from Castor River Farm. He grows barley close to Ottawa and sells it locally too.

Please go out and support these fine local shops as always, but especially now they need your support ☺️

Food is connection. Connection to land, to friends Food is connection. Connection to land, to friends and family, to preparation and tradition. Good bread is infused with time and care. From the farmer who tends the fields to the miller to the baker to the person who eats it. It all comes around full circle. Learning to bake your own sourdough bread creates a circle that satisfies hungers within you that you may not even know you had until they are realized! And learning to bake sourdough alongside others is a treat that not many get to do. I’m very pleased to announce that I will be running one very small workshop in my home kitchen on November 27th. There will only be 4 people total and only 2 spots remain! This is my full Sourdough Simplified course, running most of the day and includes a delicious homemade seasonal lunch.

I often think about tasks that our hands accomplis I often think about tasks that our hands accomplish on a regular basis. Some of them so routine we don’t even think about it. Brushing our teeth, opening a door, holding another hand. When you learn something new though it becomes obvious that our hands don’t always want to behave. Your brain is telling them to do something that you saw someone else do, but they haven’t learned how to do it yet. Like any new hand skill you must practice over and over again to start to feel comfortable and then you have do it many more times for it to become a muscle memory. Mixing and especially shaping sourdough is one of those things. It is one of those skills that gives a result and feedback pretty quickly. Your loaf might show you WOW that looks amazing I must’ve done it right this time, or it is kind of crooked and uneven yet still tastes delicious. Believe in your hands. They will do what you ask them to with time. It is worth the practice and delving into something new! #handskills #shapingbread #sourdoughbread #learntobake #ottawavalley #renfrewcounty #learntobakesourdough
