Sweet and Savoury Recipes from Margot Bakery
In Modern Sourdough, Michelle Eshkeri reveals how mastering the art of sourdough baking can open up a world of sweet and savoury treats at home. Bringing together over 100 mouth-watering recipes inspired by Michelle’s heritage, Modern Sourdough expands our understanding of this ancient baking technique. Featuring a step-by-step guide to making a sourdough starter, as well as methods for folding, shaping, scoring and baking, it demonstrates how you too can make Margot signature loaves, as well as naturally-leavened pizzas, challah, focaccia, French pastries, brioche and babka. Covering bread, cakes, buns, savoury bakes and store cupboard wonders, plus a selection of non-sourdough favourites from the bakery, these are recipes you’ll want to make again and again. ‘Michelle Eshkeri’s book Modern Sourdough gives a perfect balance with easy home-style recipes and more invitingly complex challenges, just what every budding baker is looking for. Recipes are well thought out, clear and easy to follow, and will get you on the road to sourdough brilliance in no time.’ Dan Lepard, author of Short and Sweet

Modern Sourdough is a delightful addition to any baker's cookbook collection. Michelle Eshkeri's detailed instructions for growing a sourdough starter offer a helpful starting point for bakers of all levels and the book only gets better from there.
I got into sourdough during the pandemic (like so many others), but I still had so much to learn and this book is definitely going to up my game. The book is hugely visually appealing, with gorgeous photos that made me want to start baking again immediately.
It features a wide range of bread recipes to suit every taste, from classic loaves to fancy pastries. This book even includes recipes for desserts and jams/spreads from Michelle's restaurant Margot, all of which look absolutely amazing.
Whether you're new to sourdough or looking to try something new, this book is a valuable resource. Get ready to up your baking game and enjoy the delicious flavours of homemade sourdough creations!
