The Sourdough Starter Rescue Guide

Simple Steps to Troubleshoot, Revive, and Maintain a Healthy Sourdough Starter

by Clara Westcott

What This Book Will Do for You

This book takes the mystery out of sourdough starters. You’ll learn how to build one from scratch, recognize when it’s thriving (or faking it), and fix common problems before they become disasters. More importantly, you’ll walk away confident, no jargon, no intimidating science, just straightforward steps that lead to a bubbly, bake-ready starter.

Who It’s For

This book is for anyone who has ever stared at a jar of flour and water and wondered, “Is this thing alive, or did I just make paste?” If you’re new to sourdough, tried a starter once and abandoned it, or just want clear, real-world solutions to keep your starter healthy, this guide is for you.

How to Use It

Read it straight through if you’re brand new, or flip to the problem-solving sections when your starter is sulking. Use the tips, callouts, and troubleshooting guides as your daily companion. Keep it in the kitchen (flour smudges are a badge of honor) and let it guide you from jar to loaf with a little humor along the way.
