Barley: Canada’s latest ancient grain gaining recognition

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.

Last night prepping dough for my workshop today @m Last night prepping dough for my workshop today @madawaskakanu . These two weekends of in person workshops have been a gift to my soul. Teaching safely, in person is one of my favourite ways to pass along the skills and knowledge of sourdough bread baking! If you weren't able to join me here in person then stay tuned for more about online learning with me. It's been awhile since I spoke about my online courses, but with winter coming and imminent lockdown threatening here where I live it's a perfect time to join the sourdough bandwagon!! 🍞😊🥖 #breadschool #breadworkshops #sourdoughbread #learntobakesourdough #fermentation #painaulevain #bakersofinstagram #learnfromhome
Welcome loaf, sourdough station and a welcoming in Welcome loaf, sourdough station and a welcoming instructor! All set to go on this gorgeous day @madawaskakanu for Sourdough Bread 101. #sourdoughbread #learntobakesourdough #breadschool #breadworkshops #ottawavalley #madawaskariver #fermentation
Most important part of sourdough baking is your st Most important part of sourdough baking is your starter!! If your starter isn't happy the rest of your bake won't turn out how you want it to. Getting things ready and babying my starter today and tomorrow in preparation for my workshop on Sunday 😊👍🤩 Everyone gets to go home with a jar of my white sourdough starter to get their bread baking off on the right foot. 👣🍞 #sourdoughculture #sourdoughstarter #learntobakesourdough #breadschool #ottawavalley #sourdoughbread #bakersgonnabake #bakersofinstagram
Spending some much needed time in nature this week Spending some much needed time in nature this week as the weather warms up! Calabogie is filled with little inukshuks after a year filled with endless hikers escaping the city 🗿⛰️ I used to frantically prep for workshops worrying about every last detail. I will spend the next couple days getting ready and readying myself, but teaching sourdough baking skills seem to be deep in my bones. This is the real prepping that I need after a busy market season. There are still a few spots left in my workshops for this weekend and next. Find the details and sign up in the link in my bio! #naturerx #sourdoughbread #breadschool #bakerstimeoff #hiking #fermentation #ottawavalley #calabogie #sunshine

If you want to know when I am doing deliveries into Ottawa area and locally please visit the link in my bio to sign up for my email list.

Spooky fun! Swipe to see the finished loaf and the Spooky fun! Swipe to see the finished loaf and the inside crumb. This was my first time putting charcoal into a dough and the first time purposely combining two doughs together. While it certainly wasn't perfect, it was fun! Don't be scared to try something new while baking 👻🎃
Sourdough Simplified is my favourite workshop to t Sourdough Simplified is my favourite workshop to teach as it is cozy and intimate (with physical distancing in place of course 😜) and we dive DEEPER into the theory of how sourdough works. I like to emphasize the intuitive side of sourdough backed up with the science to really give a fully rounded look at sourdough bread baking. The time we have together allows for questions and conversation that leads to you understanding better what you are doing and why. The result is baking better bread. This is a great stepping off point for you to bake the bread of your dreams at home! There is still space in the November 15th workshop @madawaskakanu centre. I don't know when I'll be teaching this one again... definitely not until 2021 sometime so jump on in and join us! Link in bio to sign up!
