Читать книгу The Art of Gluten-Free Sourdough Baking - Sharon A. Kane - Страница 3

Sharon A. Kane is a gluten-free sourdough baker, organic gardener and improvisational cook. She is also a musician, wife and mother. After developing many health problems almost 30 years ago, which resulted in multiple food sensitivities, she waded through various conventional and alternative treatments until she was finally diagnosed with systemic Candida and Leaky Gut Syndrome. Many years later, gluten intolerance was also discovered. Fortunately, she slowly and steadily recovered with the help of major changes to her diet, including the addition of lacto-fermented foods, and by continuing to work with alternative health practitioners.

Out of this healing experience she developed new ways of working with the gluten-free grains that were available to her. She experimented with combining old-fashioned sourdough techniques with gluten-free whole grain ingredients. The Art of Gluten-Free Sourdough Baking is the result of her determination to produce breads that were both nourishing and highly digestible.

Sharon’s articles have been published in Wise Traditions, Spirit of Change and Living Without. She has presented at numerous venues and groups. She teaches Gluten-Free Sourdough Baking Classes and Allergen-Friendly Traditional Cooking.

She and her husband, Allen, have an organic garden in Eastern Massachusetts. They use over winter cold frames allowing them to begin eating out of their garden in mid March. Sharon ferments anything from the garden at least once and has succeeded in fermenting vegetable parts that usually end up in the compost.

Her other book, Lacto-Fermentation Through the Seasons, is a manual about using old-fashioned salt brine pickling. It features 21 recipes that start with spring Rhubarb, moves through summer Daylily Buds, Snap Peas and on to the much-loved old standards of late summer and fall, cucumbers, swiss chard and sauerkraut.

Sharon has found a way to bring the joy of eating fine breads back into her, and hopefully your, life.
