A new and exciting book was delivered to my residence very recently. Here is it.
It’s hot off the press, so quick, grab your copy. You can get it from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Target, or wherever books are sold. If you can’t find one, you can contact its author Elaine Boddy through her blog Foodbod or Foodbod Sourdough. Yes, that’s the very Elaine who is no stranger to Fiesta Friday.
Back in the day when we were all noobs, Elaine and Fiesta Friday supported one another while navigating this journey called “blogging”. She is now a bonafide cookbook author! Let’s all give her a round of applause! Elaine has worked hard to put together this impressive book that will have you churn out beautiful loaves of sourdough right from your home.
I find myself salivating over her recipes, particularly the ones from the biscuit section. I LOVE biscuits and find the thought of sourdough biscuits very appealing. How wonderful do these Wonderful Buttermilk Biscuits look!
That’s going to be the first recipe I’ll try. But there are so many others (60 recipes in total) I’m eager to try. I’m sure when I do, I’ll share the results with you, but you don’t have to wait. You can get your own book now. It’s published by Page Street Publishing Co.
Now let’s look at these:
“Wow! I love coffee, love walnuts, and love cake. These look so perfect and I am so looking forward to making them.” — Zeba
“This has my name written all over it. It’s got everything I like in a muffin.” — Angie
“A beautiful combination of flavors. With tomatoes in abundance in the garden and the farmers market, this looks like a delicious way to showcase them.” — Zeba
“I’m with Zeba on this one. Sounds like a winning recipe for a glut of homegrown tomatoes.” — Angie
“Such a beautiful soup and this fall weather is a perfect time to enjoy a bowl of goodness like this.” — Zeba
“Pozole using fresh corn, how intriguing! Must. Try. Soon.” — Angie
“Oh my… that caramel has me drooling and I can almost taste the tart apples combined with that sweetness. Great way to celebrate apple season!” — Zeba

I must order Elaine’s book too! It’s gorgeous- I’m very impressed. 🙂
Angie says
I highly recommend it, Josette. Plus we can say we know the author. How cool is that!

Thank you so much x x
Life Diet Health says
Oh I’m jealous! 😛 I pre-ordered my copy ages ago from Amazon but as yet no despatch date! So lovely that you have your hands on a copy already! Yes, very well done Elaine! 🙂 My sourdough starters (yes, I have 2) will be 2 years old this week! Woohoo! We’re waiting for a storm to arrive this weekend so it would have been a perfect time to try some of Elaine’s recipes! Enjoy it and Happy Fiesta’ing! x
Angie says
Oh? Mine came pretty early. Maybe they start shipping to US addresses first, since it’s published in the US? I’m sure you’ll get yours very soon. I think you’ll find the book very much to your liking, Laurena. Somehow I just know that ? Lots of recipes you’d be interested in.
Elaine Boddy says
Yes, it arrived in the US first as it’s a US publisher, plus you also got a special early copy ?
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you so much, sorry for the delay, I think the high demand for the book took the distributor by surprise. But more are on their way! xx
Niky says
Thank you so much for featuring my Balsamic Chicken and Tomatoes recipe! I was so excited to see it here this morning!
Angie says
You’re welcome. It sounds so flavorful and delicious!
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you so much, Angie, I’m so glad I could share this with you and everyone at Fiesta Friday and I’m so glad you like my book. There’s such a lovely history and connection with all of us bloggers and my sourdough journey, it’s wonderful. It’s just amazing to see my book here, on Fiesta Friday!
Thank you x x
Angie says
Thank YOU for writing the book and sharing with us your sourdough knowledge and experience. The book will be indispensable to all sourdough lovers. I hope it doesn’t sound condescending when I say we’re very proud of you. I’m going to brag to all my friends that I know a cookbook author! And maybe interest them into acquiring their copies, too ?
Elaine Boddy says
Not at all, that’s so lovely to hear, thank you so much, it’s so special to me to share it with you, Angie x x thank you ????
Rebecca - Glutarama says
I remember seeing that Galette from last week by Zeba, I still swoon now when I see it! Lovely round up and Congrats to Elaine on her delicious looking book xx
Angie says
That galette immediately got my attention, too. Looks so scrumptious, doesn’t it? Yes, way to go Elaine! What an outstanding accomplishment!
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you ????
Kate - Gluten Free Alchemist says
Well done to Elaine. That’s a fantastic achievement. The book sounds wonderful.
Thank you for featuring my cupcakes. They definitely went down well here, so hopefully lots of other people will enjoy them too.
And as always, thanks to you guys for hosting xx
Angie says
The book is quite impressive, if I do say so myself. We’re all very proud of Elaine. The cupcakes, meanwhile, have me drooling, yumm-o!
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you ???
Morsels of Life | CJ Huang says
That book sounds interesting! I tried sourdough for a while, but didn’t keep it up. Maybe it’s time for another round. 🙂 Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Mini Key Lime Mousse Pies. Hope you enjoy. 🙂
Angie says
I’m the same way. I live sourdough for a few weeks, then something else takes all my attention, then I’ll remember the sourdough again, and so on. Luckily I’ve learned how to dry my starter. The book is very useful for people like me. I can’t recommend it enough. Thanks for bringing your mousse pies!
Elaine Boddy says
I’m always happy to help too ??
Irene says
That book looks so inviting, and what a great achievement by Elaine. Thank you to Angie and Zeba for choosing my Elopozole amongst their features for this party, and also many thanks to Angie and Liz for hosting; I am sharing some of my taco recipes in #36, to celebrate National Taco Day this Sunday. Have a wonderful weekend!
Angie says
It is, indeed, a great accomplishment by Elaine. So proud of her! Your elopozole sounds intriguing with fresh corn in it. Here I thought you could only use hominy. But sometimes it’s hard to find, especially the yellow ones. Go figure.
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you ????
zeba says
When I joined the blogging world, I joined Fiesta Friday and I remember how Elaine, Angie, Jhuls and many others encouraged me. This year, Elaine has inspired me to make my own sourdough ( which was previously highly intimidating). My starter has been alive for 5 months now and has made many a good loaf. I am still learning. Thank you and congrats Elaine and I plan on getting the book.
Angie says
It’s gratifying to hear we have a hand in making you feel encouraged with your blogging. It’s all about support for one another, isn’t it? You’ll love the book, Zeba. So much information in it but not too overwhelming, and best of all, not too intimidating to follow.
Elaine Boddy says
How lovely, thank you so much x x
Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook says
I am happy to know that I encouraged someone. 😀 You’ve inspired me a lot, too, Zeba! There are so many inspiring people out here – Angie and Elaine included.
Zeba@Food For The Soul says
Inspiring and supporting each other is what we need more of in our world ❤️
Elaine Boddy says
Yes! ??
Tamy says
Another GREAT party – THANK YOU for hosting. I brought my BRAISED PORK POSOLE, CARAMEL HAND PIES and CHOCOLATE FUDGE MARBLE CAKE to the party. I hope you have a FANTASTIC week.
Angie says
Thanks! Have a great week!

Shailaja says
Wonderful book by Elaine. I have been following her on her instagram for many years and such an inspiration! I have begun my sourdough journey though a long long way to go…Lovely post for Fiesta Friday!
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you so much ????
Angie says
Thanks! The book is a good one to have for anybody who is into sourdough. It also introduces you to many types of grains, some of which I had never heard of ?
Elaine Boddy says
???
Liz says
Those biscuits look amazing. I have ordered my own copy and can’t wait to try the recipes. I’ll have to revive my starter.
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you so much xxx
Angie says
I’ll have to revive mine, too. Then I really need to find time to try all the amazing recipes from the book! Thanks for cohosting, Liz ??
Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook says
I remember when we were just starting and I am happy to see how everybody improved. Now Elaine has her amazing book and it really makes me happy to see her and everyone else succeed. This make me miss Selma even more, but I know she’s very proud of Elaine.
And oh, that chicken and tomatoes with balsamic vinegar – it makes my mouth water!
Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie!
Elaine Boddy says
Thank you so much, my love xxx I wish Selma could see it ?
Angie says
Yeah, Selma would have been so proud and happy. We all miss her. We’ve come a long way since we started so many years ago. I feel sometimes I don’t pay enough attention to the blog anymore, which makes me feel guilty. It’s like having a pet; it needs attention and nourishment ??
Elaine Boddy says
So many memories, and so many lovely connections that we still have x x
