Sourdough

I picked this up because the author's first book is one of my favorites. The topic is very different, so I was skeptical.

However, there was no need for skepticism though. Mr. Sloan approached the new topic with the same vision of the world as in Mr. Penumbra. Again we are in San Francisco with a young tech saavy person looking for their place in the world.

Lois is discovering that coding and robots might not be her place. She discovers a small restaurant run by two brothers who we discover are part of a little known ethnic group. They leave Lois with their sourdough culture and she is catapulted into an adventure that includes an almost unreal group of food experimentalists. She eventually uncovers her thing even though it almost ruined her.
