In these strange times I’ve been thinking about food almost constantly. Unable to go out to eat (or go out much at all), food dominates my waking life even more than normal. Like many people on the internet, I’ve started using the solid blocks of time I have at home to start learning to bake sourdough, and I’ve been thinking a lot about why I’m so drawn to this and why I find it so absorbing. 

Via the medium of voicenotes, I asked my friend Rebecca Spaven, a professional baker, to consider where the domestic sourdough boom fits into a global pandemic.
