George Barnard Shaw (1856 - 1950) by Yousuf Karsh, 1943, an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist, and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman(1902), Pygmalion (1912) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
When professor of phonetics Henry Higgins wagers with Colonel Pickering that he could teach even a gutter-mouthed flower seller how to speak like a duchess, little does he expect that his social experiment will be riddled with difficulties, and that behind her cockney parlance the girl in question, Eliza Doolittle, has a mind, ideas and aspirations of her own. Things come to a crux when the creature starts to rebel against her creator - and the scene is set for a play that questions the class system, social appearances and the role of women in society. Universally regarded as Shaw's most successful work, Pygmalion - here presented in its definitive 1941 version, with footnotes indicating the textual variants from the first volume edition of 1916 - has spawned a great number of adaptations, among them the famous 1956 Broadway musical My Fair Lady, and shows ancient myth's undiminished ability to find new incarnations in modern life.

During photography’s early days in the mid-nineteenth century, the photographic portrait was expected to convey neutrality. But Marcel Sternberger, the leading portrait photographer of his generation, who photographed some of the most celebrated icons of the 1930s to 1950s, used psychological techniques to create a photograph representative of his subject’s inner state. Though Sternberger has since faded into obscurity, many of his portraits have not.

Irish dramatist George Bernard Shaw at his flat in London.
George Bernard Shaw once said “there is no love sincerer than the love of food;” I am re-writing that sentence: “there is no love more sincere than the love of bread.” Sourdough is one of life’s simplest pleasures. How lucky I am to not have gluten intolerance. It’s been nearly four years since I last posted. Is anyone familiar with an Australian aborigines’ rite called “walkabout”? I feel like I had gone on a long walkabout and have just found my way home. A lot had transpired in between, but at this very moment, I feel not much has changed between me and sourdough. So, Hello friends, I see a few familiar faces but most I don’t recognize. I guess that won’t matter; bread is our common language. I never thought I would lose it, but I did – a few times I tried to make bread during my time away but failed miserably and I never quite knew what went wrong. A year or 18 months ago, I bought my sister Orange Jim Layhey’s famous No Knead bread book; secretly I wanted to learn it too as a way out of the mud, or quick sand, I was in with my formal way of sourdough making. Scroll forward, a week ago, I came across a no-knead sourdough formula on Eric’s BreadTopia, I thought it was amazing and decided to give it a try. The result was really pleasing, however I could never just follow a recipe; I needed to do my own thing. So after a few experiments, I did the following: Turmeric, Cashews, and Carrot Sourdough (No-Knead version) (adapted from BreadTopia’s no-knead cranberry & pecan sourdough, thank you, Eric!) 430 g flour (consisting of 390 g bread flour, and 40 g wholemeal/spelt/rye flour mix)60 g very young 100% hydration starter, diluted in 50 g water300 g carrot juice (from 4 – 5 medium carrots)100 g cashew nuts (lightly roasted and cooled)70 g threaded carrot (from about one small carrot)2.5 teaspoonful of turmeric powder9 g salt (Overall hydration about 81%) Method (1) Mix everything up in one go, and just leave it.If you are so inclined, give it a fold or two, or none, not straightaway, but perhaps a couple of hours later, or whenever. (Being a sourdough baker, you would just be so tempted to fold it. It is not possible to not fold it; you cannot not do it.) In the 9 hours of bulk fermentation at room temp averaging 22-24C (72-75F), I did just one letter fold. (2) Just before shaping, I did another letter fold, and I let the dough rest for 15 minutes, then shaped it (very minimalist handling); final proof a little over 2 hours. (3) 30 minutes before baking, pre-heat with a Dutch oven inside to 225C (450F). Bake it covered for 30 minutes (no need for steaming), then open the lid, and bake a further 10 minutes. A few notes (these are to refresh my own memory: Hydration – it is one thing to want to have large holes, and another to have too much hydration with the bread ending like a big pancake;Fermentation – I have found most no-knead bread recipes asking for too long fermentation, with the end result of a pancake again; long fermentation is safer with lower hydration;Temperature - an all important issue which bloggers or posters don’t seem to spend time to talk about; temperature is key in deciding the length of time needed for fermentation;Starter - a young starter is always my preference; unless I am making a German or Swiss style rye bread, in general, I do not like making sourdough with mature starter;Total time from initial mixing to just before baking – this time figure is what I pay attention to; but at the end of the day …When all is said and done, I am finding learning to “read” the dough is THE most important step of all steps, a step that can override all other steps! Not sure how much I will be posting going forward, but glad to be back and say Hi.Cheers to all! Shiao-Ping
