Testimonials
★★★★★Emily PerkinsMy husband, Josh, got me your book for Christmas this year and l've made a few things in it already. So far the English muffins have been a hugeee hit here. Neighbors and friends at the ranch have asked for them for next week too!
You did such an amazing job on this book, Jill! Every detail you put into this is seen and so much appreciated
★★★★★Christy EgglestonHad the salmon tart for breakfast this morning. I like it better than lox bagels!
★★★★★Krista Gabriella HallMy book arrived to Finland into my door today, thank you Jill! I have already baked using e-book and let me tell you.. tired at Christmas isn't the right time to start baking new recipe in different language.. I think first time I might have put the water and flour amounts vice versa because I knew when I was baking daily artisan loaf that now I did something wrong. This time I took time to read the recipe (it really helps...) and now I had so beautiful bread coming... and then it slipped from my hands when I was putting it to dutch oven
I was so sure that it is gone now... but what I got from oven was the prettiest bread I have ever made! I am so excited about this book, maybe next time I don't toss it into oven and get even better!
★★★★★Krista GabriellaHIGHLY recommend the book. Several recipes down, trying more every day. Everything has been so good so far.
★★★★★Midwest.Homestead_DreamerI started following you when you got the farm!
Your book is beautiful and the recipes are Thanks for putting that out there. I learned sourdough from your videos and started 2 years ago!!! Much love and I'm happy to see you back on YouTube!
★★★★★Wagner WhatleyHey Jill, been following you since you before you hosted the seed swap. I recieved some Brads atomic grape tomato seeds that hear. It remains my best year for growing tomatos. Wishing you and your sweet family all the best in 2026!

Best quality book I think I've ever purchased. Excellent spiral binding, thick pages, color photography, and it reads like it was written and edited by an adult. Too many books read like they were edited by an 8 year old. Not this one. VERY WELL WRITTEN! Amazing recipes and I want to try them all! I'm having an adventure adapting the recipes to celiac for my girlfriend, and keto for me. The struggle is real! But sourdough and rye breads are my absolute favorites and I've always been afraid of making sourdough. Not any more! Thank you Jill for taking the time to create this amazing book!
The ONLY thing I'd like to know a little more about is what I've heard about Jill being gluten reactive and how, if at all, these recipes react for gluten intolerant people. I'm pretty sure they're not right for celiac without a lot of adaptation, but of really like to hear the story of how they work for Jill. Knowing her story might help me to convince my mom to try some of these recipes since she's not celiac but does have gluten reactions.
Thank you for these amazing recipes!
The pictures are great, the font size is what I need and love! vibrant colors good layout of recipes the book size is perfect. The thing I like the most is the quality card stock of paper. Ina Garten uses a company for Japan (if I recall correctly) for her cookbooks (I have them all) and it is always the paper that pulls it together! The recipes are top notch, I did the starter and Focassia, it was fantastic and I too may start my own Focassia front porch bakery.. Thank-you Jillian!! Your hard work is not going un-noticed. Lots of gratitude from Boston
I absolutely love the book. I’ve had it a week and have tried three recipes. They were all amazing.Look and taste PERFECT!
Great book and info for someone new fairly to baking bread. I look forward to learning to bake amazing bread and hopefully supplement my income a tiny bit in a few years.
It’s rare that I buy something and feel the need to write a review within the first five minutes of owning it, but my expectations have already been far exceeded.
1. I didn’t expect it to be a signed copy! That was such a sweet surprise and made it feel extra special.
2. There are SO many recipes. I’m excited for my starter to be ready so I can dive into all of these options.
3. I love that the recipes include both gram and volume measurements. Such a thoughtful and helpful detail.
I’m sure I’ll find so many more things to love about this cookbook once I actually start making the recipes, but it felt important to immediately express my gratitude and appreciation for how much value, thought, and care clearly went into creating it. I’m already so happy I bought it!
Great cookbook!
The book is beautiful-I want to make every one of the recipes!
I ordered my book along with the other ones! Cannot wait to get started!!
Thank you for all your help and love!
We watch you folks every time a new podcast comes available!!
Bless you and yours!!

This was the second copy I purchased. I’m enjoying mine so much, I wanted my daughter-in-law, who is newish to baking sourdough, to enjoy one as well!
The photos are beautiful, instructions are clear, and the short personal message from Jill was a nice surprise!
Love the cookbooks, so many great recipe ideas. Jill is very inspiring!
the only thing better than this would have been a video cookbook. I've tried 4 recipes so far and I am enjoying learning the sourdough process. Your instructions are easy to follow& I appreciate the layout of your book & the spiral binder. It's nice to be able to open it and flip it over. Print is a nice size, dont need my readers! thank YOU! love the personal touch of your autograph one the first page :)
What a thorough sourdough book bursting with recipes for both active and discarded refrigerated starter alike. Easy explanations for a beginner like me!
Excited to start my Otis starter this week. Actually going to try this with my niece, something to do together since she’s ten and wants to be a baker. Will let you know how it goes!
I've tried a few of the recipes so far and they are wonderful!!! Going to be making all of them in the book! Love the book!! Recommended to family, and they have ordered too!
The format, pictures, content, and everything is so impressive! My husband and I watch your videos as often as they’re posted! You really are a wonderful example of an entrepreneur! I want to make $6000/ month baking focaccia and am practicing. Unfortunately, I’ll be 66 on my birthday 8/15 and I feel like I’m getting a little old to start a new business. I currently own a family business- Parker Quigley Properties- a boutique real estate company specializing in selling property on Lake Hartwell in SC & NE GA. My two daughters work with me and this is actually my 30th year in the business. Anyway, we LOVE you!

Love love love the cookbook! I can’t wait to make these recipes. The layout and presentation is absolutely beautiful!
The book is beautifully print with awesome recipes!!
I'm working with two sourdough starters I purchased while taking a trip to Alaska. I purchased one in Caribou Crossing from a local bakery and one in Ketchikan that has a history back to the days of the gold rush.
A Taste of Sourdough Cookbook has given me several ways to use both of my starters, tons of information about sourdough and come as a sturdy cookbook that can survive my busy kitchen. One basic recipe down and so many more to try!!
The algorithm on YouTube made Whispering Willows Farm video about selling focaccia at Jills local farmers market pop up. It resonated with me because I had started my cottage bakery around the same time she did and I spontaneously bought her cookbook. I love this cookbook. It’s through, it’s simple, it’s well organized. Now that I’ve had a chance to bake several things out of it. I’ve expanded my offerings at my farm stand. Her focaccia recipe, the best tasting ever. The abundance of sourdough recipes in one book. This book was designed for working ppl. Large print, step by step, tips and hint's. This book is here for you to succeed.
Oh my! It is a beautiful book! I am savoring everything you have to share! Congratulations, I think it’s a winner!
This book is a winner!!! Every recipe we have tried has been easy to follow and delicious. Jill is the sourdough expert. We also love the quality of the book. The thick pages, binder rings and the GREAT pictures. Great job to Whispering Willow Farm!
I am going to be on sabbatical in September and can't wait to try all of these recipes and upy sourdough game!
Absolutely Love the cookbook! Has many great recipes and education about sourdough and the starter. I made the daily loaf and the donuts that’s far and I can’t wait to make so many more amazing recipes that are in there! Thanks so much Jill!! I’m so inspired! Xo
This was a gift for my sister who is just beginning her sourdough journey. She absolutely loves it; all the supplies she had already purchased were also in the book, which not only made her extremely happy, but boosted her confidence to make the bread! Thank you!!!
My first time ever making sourdough artisan loaves was last year (on my 39th birthday) after watching your video and seeing how simple it truly is. It was a HUGE success. I had put it off for years making artisan and kept making sourdough sandwich bread thinking it was easier… boy was I wrong haha. I love how simple these recipes are write. and leave no room for my overthinking mind to run. Thank you so much!! If you’re an over thinker, this cookbook is for you!
My Wife loved it as a Birthday Gift.
