EP 12: Get Inspired To Start A Sourdough Bread Baking Hobby
Her parents had dreams of her going to law school, but at the last minute, Meredith Laurence decided to pursue culinary school instead.
Later, when the opportunity struck for her to become the head baker at the bistro she worked at, she was told women can’t lift the dough so they can’t be the baker. She didn’t take no for an answer, and began sleeping during the day and baking all night. She loved it.
Today, Meredith runs the food blog, Blue Jean Chef. In this episode, she chats with us about starting sourdough bread baking as a food hobby, what it’s like to write 8 cookbooks, how working for QVC propelled her online food career, how she currently teaches intimate cooking classes over zoom, and her future projects in launching kitchen products. We also chat about the air fryer and one of my favorite food hobbies - sous vide cooking.
If you’re thinking about getting into bread baking, or want to know what it’s like to have a vast career in the culinary world, this chat is for you.

- The ins and outs of baking sourdough bread.

QUOTABLES:
“I think bread is magic. I just think it's so magical that you can mix basically three ingredients: water, flour, and salt and get something delicious. Like that's a little minor miracle every single day in your kitchen.” - Meredith Laurence
“It's something that people have done for centuries in all kinds of cultures. And when you get your hands on the dough, you're doing something that people have done for thousands of years before you and it's kind of cool. You know, it sounds a bit crazy, but you're almost like tapping into some kind of thing that's bigger than you.” - Meredith Laurence
