The 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' of Bread and Butter.

If you've seen the documentary 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' you know the passion and dedication behind Jiro and his tiny Michelin starred Sushi restaurant at a train station. In this video, we explore the world of Dan Richer whose passion is bread and butter.

In a world where we over-complicate and automate many things, it's nice to see people getting back to the basics.

If you're interested in learning how to make fermented butter and sour-doughs, I attended a course by Elizabeth Fekonia, who is based on the Sunshine Coast, in which we made cheese as well as fermented butter described in the video above.

I should point out that fermented butter might sounds like a 'new/hipster' food offering but for thousands of years it was very common, because it's easy to make and easy to keep without refrigeration.

Speaking of 'hipster', Toast is becoming the new food trend with funky coffee shops serving up a Toast Menu.

If you want to start your own Toast Bar, grab a copy of 'Things on Toast' - I did - all I need now is a cool venue and wait for the hipster apocalypse.
