ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO on this program, I talked about making sourdough starter with today’s guest, Sarah Owens, on the occasion of the publication her book called “Sourdough.” Now a 10th anniversary edition of the James Beard Award-winning book is about to arrive, and I wanted to check in with Sarah—who is also an accomplished gardener—to inspire us to maybe get that starter going again and do some baking with seasonal ingredients this fall and winter.
