Personalized Sourdough Journal — My Starter Has Standards Custom Starter Notes
Couldn't load pickup availability

This personalized journal was made for the person who knows that sourdough comes with a lot more to remember than just a recipe. Feeding schedules, flour combinations, timing changes, great loaves, disappointing loaves, and the tiny adjustments that somehow make all the difference.
The cover reads “My Starter Has Standards” and can be personalized in two places—with the name of their sourdough starter on the jar and their own name on the “Starter Notes” tag. It turns a funny sourdough design into something that feels completely theirs.

Inside are 200 lined pages they can use for feeding notes, recipes, bake results, experiments, discard ideas, or simply keeping track of what worked so they can actually recreate that perfect loaf.
It’s a thoughtful gift for the person who genuinely loves the process of making sourdough—whether that’s your mom, sister, wife, friend, or favorite home baker. And because both the baker and their starter get a place on the cover, it feels much more personal than another general baking notebook.
A fun choice for a birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day, housewarming, or simply for someone whose sourdough starter has become a regular part of the household.
