My guest today is Dr. Eric Pallant. Eric is a two-time Fulbright Scholar, award-winning professor, and the Christine Scott Nelson Endowed Professor of Environmental Science and Sustainability at Allegheny College. His research has been published in magazines such as Gastronomica, Sierra, and Science. He is also a serious amateur baker. He lives in Meadville, Pennsylvania, with his wife, cat, and four active sourdough starters. Eric is joining me today to talk about his new book SOURDOUGH CULTURE: A History of Bread Making from Ancient to Modern Bakers.
On this episode of the Sourdough Podcast I talk with author, historian, and baker, Dr. Eric Pallant. In his new book, SOURDOUGH CULTURE Eric investigates the origins of his own sourdough starter by exploring the history of sourdough from ancient to modern times. Eric helps shed light on some of my own misunderstandings of bread history, answers your listener questions AND proves to us that when it comes to people’s opinions on good bread, there is nothing new under the sun.
