I'm Amy Duska, the founder of Little Spoon Farm and I'm so glad you're here!
We've taken the guesswork out of sourdough recipes for beginners, and I'm thrilled to share my tips and tricks with you!
You'll love our simple sourdough recipes, like our beginner's tutorials for sourdough starter and beginners sourdough bread. We also enjoy sharing our favorite dessert recipes, such as easy apple pie and sourdough chocolate chip cookies.
The time invested in cultivating your own sourdough starter is worth it—it can last a lifetime and be passed down for generations!
With the right guidance and support, I believe you can learn to bake amazing homemade bread for your family.
When I'm not working on new recipes, I love spending time with my family, hanging out with the cows, and putzing around the farm.
Most people are surprised to learn that I have seven grown kids and chose to leave the city for a simpler life near the foothills of the Tennessee mountains.
I've also been a Certified Holistic Nutritionist since 2015 and I use that knowledge to help with my recipe development.
I'm so glad you stopped by Little Spoon Farm, and I hope you'll continue to come back.
Happy Baking!
Amy

What others are saying!
"I'm super excited to have come across your site! Per your excellent instructions I have starter bubbling in a jar on the counter!! Thank you for helping me get started with sourdough baking!" Jennifer
"Amy, I just wanted to thank you for teaching me how to make a starter, sourdough loaves, using the discard and how to store starter when absent for a period of time. My wife and I went on holiday overseas so I stored my starter. However, because of what you’ve taught me, I easily “awoke” my snoozing starter, and am now (impatiently!) waiting for my sourdough loaves to cool before I eat some much needed fresh delicious bread. Not to mention the fantastic crackers from the discard 😋. You’ve become something of a hero in our household!" Roddy
"Hi Amy I truly appreciate your sample time schedule as it all seems overwhelming.....but you've done a superior job of explaining in simple detail each step. I've made your sourdough discard crackers and LOVE them! Very addictive! Thanks again!" Pamela
"Hi Amy, After trying many sourdough starter recipes and wasting many 5 pound of flour bags, I stumbled across your Beginner's Sourdough Starter recipe about 10 days ago. Yesterday, on the 7th day of feeding, my starter passed the "Float" test. Yippppeeeeeeeeeee." Hannoush
"Hi Amy! Your starter directions worked perfectly and I am ready to make my first loaf!" Debbie
"Just produced 2 amazing sourdough loaves using your technique, thank so much!" Dave
