    I've had two unsuccessful experiments at making sourdough starters but am going to give it another go this week. Anyone have any tips?

    Substitute some (20% ish) of the white flour for rye flour. Throw some sliced grapes in to start as per this. Having said that, I'll post you some if you like (assuming you fancy donating to some cash to ... say... Oxfam)

    Just bumped this post to thank davis for suggesting I use Paul Hollywood's sliced grapes recipe on the BBC food link above. I made the starter on Friday. It's really vigorous, with a nice tangy cider smell, and I made my first two sourdough loaves with it today (Tue). They were great! Looking forward to trying my maturing starter with different flours.
