Kaiseki experience: SO MUCH FOOD, every time you think “this is it” another plate arrives. It was the most unfamiliar part of Japanese cuisine to me, and a truly worthwhile experience. Everything was fresh, thoughtful, and beautiful...and mostly delicious 👉 night 1, night 2, and breakfast 2 (missing at least 1/2 of the dishes we were served!) #kaiseki #japan #ryokan #matsumoto #japanesefood
*~*when you overproof your bread and you know it*~* I love this guy though because he’s like the opposite twin of my first sourdough! • I wanted to make some bread before leaving on vacation, but don’t have a lot of time, so I tried @markbittman’s “Easy Sourdough” and left it out a little too long to go see Captain Marvel • Obviously he’s got this big bubble on top, but the dense texture on the bottom is still pleasant and the flavor is nice and mild, with an interesting spice to it. It has a good chew and elasticity, but is on the drier side.
Excited to come back from vacation and try @tartinebakery recipe again!

first attempt at baking bread with my new sourdough starter! 🍞 • recipe from @tartinebakery • crust is pretty and tasty with crunch, flavor is a nice complex tang, but the internal structure and rise of the bread is definitely lacking! A little gummy in texture, not much height, and air bubbles that look questionably big (curious what that means). But hey, not bad for a first try! I’ve got some studying to do for next time, stay tuned for future endeavors! #bread #breadmaking #breadbaking #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbread #tartine #tartinebread #firstbread
