Meet Ash.

Ash is a New Yorker baking in Seattle. She keeps a sourdough starter that once flew across the country in a checked bag, leaked, and lived. She thinks five days is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to spend on a croissant, and she's never been happier than with flour down the front of a black work shirt.

Her bakes lean on Ovenly for cookies and cakes, Mary Berry for éclairs, and her mom's kitchen in Tarrytown for scones. Everything else is an experiment, and not every experiment survives the oven (see: the Strawberry Basil Incident).
