'This book is a much-needed, unique and very practical guide to how you can use the new knowledge of the gut microbes to improve your health as well as developing and expanding your skills in the kitchen.' Tim Spector
'It is impossible to read this book without wanting to scuttle off into the kitchen.' Nigella Lawson
Foreword by Tim Spector
The benefits of sourdough are well known - the slow fermentation process creates a healthier and lighter dough that is easier to digest - but until now they have been mainly linked to bread. If it rises, however, it can be made with sourdough, and in this ground-breaking new book, Vanessa Kimbell focuses on sweet sourdough bakes that not only nourish the gut but also improve your mood.
Using a variety of flours, including chestnut, spelt and einkorn, as well as blends you can make up yourself, the classic recipes and new ideas for flavour combinations cover everything from cakes, tarts and biscuits, to doughnuts, brioche and pretzels, and rely on natural sweetness wherever possible.
Recipes include Morello Cherry Shortbread, Chocolate, Tangerine & Pistachio Cakes, Carrot & Walnut Cake, Doughnuts and Mille-feuille as well as vinegars, compotes, cultured creams, butters and ghee. There is even Chocolate, Almond & Hazelnut Spread and Sourdough Vanilla Ice Cream.
Vanessa also explains how sourdough helps to maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome. From understanding the benefits of having diversity in your diet to the amazing work of enzymes, this book is about understanding the connection between our food, gut microbiome and the potential impact on our mental health. New studies are unveiling links between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour, and Vanessa is at the forefront of this research.
'Britain's queen of sourdough.' - Telegraph
'Vanessa Kimbell wants to change the bread we eat, one loaf at a time. She's the real deal: a total inspiration.' - Diana Henry
'Just five years ago if someone said to you that they were writing a book about sourdough bread and mental health you would have thought they needed psychiatric help. Today nobody is laughing as the latest science tells us that microbes are the key link between food and the health of our mind and bodies.' - Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth

The book centres around gut microbes diversity and research findings that show that the main contributing factor to achieving optimum diversity is down to the number of different plants/nuts/seeds/grains/herbs/berries we eat each week, ideally 30 different varieties. I was familiar with this prior to reading this book, and in my household we actively try to maximise this diversity in our diet.
The first about 50 pages of the book are science relating to microbiome and flour, which I found to be an interesting read, but it is full of scientific terminology.
The next section is about creating botanical flour blends by home milling! There are 10 different blends in total, containing a mixture of grains (such as spelt, einkorn wheat and emmer wheat), dried edible flowers (such as mallow flower, rosehips and hibiscus flowers), herbs/spices and others (such as dried blue corn, cocoa beans and green/wakame seaweed). These are then used to form the basis of the recipes. I imagine most people won't have the time, accessibility, storage space and/or financial resources to attempt this. Although it is stated in the book that you may use supermarket bought wholegrain flour for some of the recipes, but then you will be "more restricted" and the blends will be "less diverse". Not all of the recipes suggest this alternative.
The book then moves onto more science about eating symbiotically (probiotics), which then leads to recipes for 'additions', that you can then use in the sweet baking recipes. These include things like malted orange labneh, butter/ghee, various syrups etc.
The next section is about the sourdough process itself with more science and a guide for creating your own starter. Again, it is interesting, but if you have been baking with a sourdough starter for some time, then you will be mostly familiar with this.
Then, finally, on Page 122, the sweet baking recipes start. There are about 25 of them in total, and I am very disappointed to say, I am not going to attempt any of them. I am unfamiliar with quite a few of the creations and the recipes/images do not appeal to me. There are a lot of expensive ingredients (ground almonds, coconut sugar, raw unpasturised honey, raw organic cocoa powder, Ndali vanilla powder, orange blossom water, khorasan flour etc). The recipes require an awful lot of pre-prep (make your own botanical flour blend, make your own creme patissiere, make your own orange marmalade, make your own cultured butter etc). I am a keen home cook and baker; almost all our meals are cooked from scratch, I happily experiment with complicated recipes and I bake home-made sourdough bread a number of times a week, so I am happy to put in the effort to create something wonderful, but even I draw the line at, for example, making wild blackberry tarts with instructions spanning over 3 days, requiring me to first mill my own botanical blend (which, incidentally, is blend 4; and the ingredient list for blend 4 (10 ingredients) includes blend 2 that you should already have made up (another 11 ingredients), then to pre-make blackberry fresh fruit compote and creme patissiere, before you can even start following the recipe.
I would describe this book as a wonderful dream that takes you to a magical place where you have your own wildflower garden, where you keep your own honey bees, where you have unlimited time on your hands to create 10 botanical flour blends, and you have a large pantry to store these, as well as all the pricey ingredients which your unlimited resources will allow you to buy. Where you can follow instructions spanning over 3 days to create an undoubtedly fantastic chocolate brownie cake with the similarly delicious cultured cream on the side. And then you wake up in the real world where most of us will have family commitments, jobs, household chores and a somewhat limited budget.
Personally, I think it is much easier, simpler and cheaper to be a conscious shopper on your weekly food shopping trips by carefully selecting fresh produce and added ingredients (herbs, seeds, nuts) that will allow you to eat 30 different varieties every week. Or at least (in my case), it’s a much easier goal to aspire to.

Love this book about sweet sourdough baking. I do want to address one thing first, this is probably not the best for a beginner just starting to discover the world of sourdough. This is a book of information, of inspiration, and not necessarily a "follow this recipe and you'll have perfect bakes every time". If you're a beginner and at this stage then yes, buy the book! Also, you don't need to blend your own flour, I don't but I was able to use the information in the book to mix up my flour blend from what I already had in my cupboard and start to truly experiment with flour blends from organic & heritage grains. The taste is incredible and so good for you!
I've been baking with sourdough for a few years now and recently started investigating sweet bakes using only natural leaven. I found this book fantastic to expand my mind on flour and using the principles of sourdough to any sweet bakes that usually use baking powder or yeast. So if you're at that part of your journey, then this is the book for you! Understanding what happens in your bake but also in your body (!) when eating it is so essential when exploring the way you want to bake.
I now have a long list of traditional sweet bakes and cakes that I want to turn into sourdough masterpieces with the knowledge from this book to guide me!

My sweet starter is now building and the schedules are carefully planned to fit into a working day. I have my eye on making the poppy seed and lemon cake with unpasteurised raw honey (my prebiotic). I can’t wait to have that with live yoghurt (my probiotic) and a spoonful of blueberry compote (my polyphenol), see I’m learning already! So glad I will continue to learn as I delve deeper into this fabulous book.

Firstly the pros:
- The level of detail in respect of the science / technique is very useful. I particularly liked the comparison of the starter at it’s various ages (see page 114).
- If you are seriously into your baking then this book selves deeper than so many others on the market which remain fairly surface level.
- The recipes tried so far are delicious. The chocolate brownie cake is an absolute crowd pleaser.
Now for the cons/caveats:
- You have to get half way through the book before you come to any baking recipes. More of those would have been preferable.
- Not enough uses are given for the discard from your first leaven build. I was hoping for more cakes using a raising agent for the rise and discard for flavour.
- Be warned, the recipes are generally involving a longer prove time than cakes would have (due to not using other easing agents). It’s obviously far better for the gut but doesn’t make for a quick bake.
Overall, I’m happy with this and would recommend but only to someone really interested in sourdough as opposed to it being a passing flight of fancy.
