Aperitivo & Sourdough - Giveaway, Chats and Food.

Here comes another appointment with Elvira, As Soup As Possible's centenary Italian sourdough starter.
I'll give you a taste of what sourdough can do and a bread recipe to get you started.
It all happens with a side of homemade food, good Italian wine, and new friends who share your same love for the good things in life.

Join our sourdough talks at Terre Lente, enjoy freshly baked sourdough bread, (vegetarian) food and good wine over aperitivo.

If you're only in it for the food, the wine, and the good company, you're just as welcome!
If you're after the baking challenge, instead, you'll lay your hands on your first Neapolitan sourdough starter and receive all the guidance you need to start baking your own bread right away.

Those who have been following my blog As Soup As Possible in the past few years know Elvira by now. You can learn about how this blob of flour, water and friendly microorganisms and I became a baking team here: http://assoupaspossible.com/baking-bread-elvira/
...and how I started a community of sourdough home-bakers here:
http://assoupaspossible.com/companionship-of-the-dough/

I've been sharing my starter over a few giveaways every year. These happenings have always been a fun opportunity for home-bakers and novices to share their questions, experiences and recipes and I really look forward to meeting you on this coming one.

We'll meet up with aspiring sourdough bakers (and eaters) at Terre Lente, a colourful and cozy delicatessen shop in the Jordaan.
Luigi, owner of this homelike shop, passionate foodie and wonderful host, will provide us with the right "companatico" for my freshly baked sourdough bread, together with his quality wine and other products from Calabria, in the South of Italy.

///GIVEAWAY///RESERVATION REQUIRED
