“I was lucky enough to attend a bread making workshop with
Tara where we made the most beautiful and delicious sourdough
loaves. Tara taught us about flour (we even milled our own),
sourdough starter, and, of course, bread making. Reading Flour
Power is like being back in that workshop. You’ll learn so much
about making magnificent bread—it’s like Tara is holding your hands
throughout.”—Klancy Miller, founder of For the Culture and author
of Cooking Solo: The Joy of Cooking for Yourself
“Tara Jensen is an effortless and inspiring teacher. In Flour
Power, she not only expertly guides readers through baking science
and techniques but also passes along the everyday wisdom of how to
incorporate baking bread into your life. Tara’s undeniable
expertise, signature creativity, and floury fingerprints are all
over these beautiful pages.”—Erin Jeanne McDowell, author of The
Book on Pie
“Tara inspires me to bake. She brings together simple ingredients
with integrity to bake our way through life’s hardest moments.
Flour Power has all the tools to conquer our sourdough fears in the
comfort of our home kitchens. I am lucky she is one of my closest
friends and writing confidante—my baked goods and life are better
for it.”—Melissa M. Martin, author of Mosquito Supper Club
“[A] thoroughly delightful guide to baking sourdough, rye, and
whole grain loaves.”—Publishers Weekly
