“I’ve had the joy of knowing Elaine since before her remarkable journey into the world of sourdough began. From the very start, she possessed a rare gift — the ability to share her ideas with both magic and heart. Elaine doesn’t just teach; she inspires, weaving passion into every loaf and every word. It’s this extraordinary blend of warmth, skill, and soul that has made her not only a true sourdough master, but a beloved guide to so many. I am so thrilled to add this beautiful deck to my collection — another reflection of Elaine’s creativity and generosity, distilled into every card.”
