If brown and multigrain breads were replacing the good 'ol milk loaf on your kitchen shelf a few years back, all anyone can talk about today is sourdough. The fermented bread, which has a subtle tartness to it, is becoming a rage among people for its health benefits. Now, Grandmama’s Cafe has joined hands with La Folie, a baked goods venture, to put together a pop-up, which will include a masterclass that will teach you to whip up simple and easy recipes using different variations of the bread, like whole wheat sourdough, harvest grain loaf, seeded multigrain sourdough and olive garlic sourdough. Edited excerpt from an interview with Vikram Deshmukh, head chef at the cafe, who will teach you how to make dishes like poached eggs and avocado on toast, mushroom ragoud, and a Thanksgiving Sandwich!
