Luckily, he wasn’t so much angry as he was raring to go, so in the end we both made out okay. (I should say at the outset that Dave is my sourdough starter, named after David LaChapelle. Ten points to anyone who can thread that needle.) A couple weeks ago in my mindless instagramming I came across a recipe for nan-e barbari, a Persian flatbread I first encountered at a Before Times dinner at @sofreh_brooklyn, and it seemed like a ..read more
