## Who

- Site: Sourdough Starter Kitchen, at sourdoughstarterkitchen.com.
- Baker and writer: Katie Stippec, a home baker in St. Louis, Missouri. Not a trained chef. She started baking sourdough in January 2020, chasing her Croatian grandma's bread, a recipe nobody ever wrote down.

## What is here

- Recipes: How to Make a Sourdough Starter From Scratch, Sourdough Boule.
- Blog posts: How to Make a Sourdough Starter with Rye Flour (Day by Day), How to Store a Sourdough Starter in the Fridge (and Wake It Back Up), How to Feed a Sourdough Starter (and How Often), Sourdough Discard: What It Is, and What to Actually Do with It, Is My Sourdough Starter Dead? A Beginner's Troubleshooting Guide, How to Make a Sourdough Starter from Scratch (a Beginner's Day-by-Day), That Sourdough Starter Life.
- The book: Sourdough Starter for Starters, Katie's book for people who are sure they'll mess up their first starter: making the starter, feeding it, naming it, and turning it into bread. Sold on Amazon.
- Also: Baking videos on YouTube, letters on Substack, and posts on Instagram.

## For whom

- Readers: Beginners making their first sourdough starter, and home bakers who want a forgiving way in. The motto is "bake it anyway": homemade sourdough something is better than no sourdough anything at all.

## Price

- On the site: The recipes and blog posts are free to read, and the starter conversion chart is a free printable for email subscribers. Some posts carry Amazon affiliate links.
