Hello, my name is Luis.  I love cooking but I've always been intimidated by bread baking and pastry.  I finally got up the nerve to sign up for a sourdough starter class and found the process of making bread from a naturally fermented starter a lot less difficult than I imagined.  I'm still experimenting with my bread but I'm excited to start learning more baking techniques.  Looking forward to reading through this forum for ideas and information.
