John Downes is regarded by many as 'the father of the Australian sourdough bread movement', and in the words of one food critic, a "high priest of sourdough". Having pioneered the re-introduction of traditional sourdough bread in the 1970s, John has owned several restaurants and bakeries that have achieved iconic status in the annals of Australia's food lore. His abiding interest in the history of food and culture is reflected in his belief that much of modern baking has lost touch with long held traditions that imparted deeper flavours and greater wellbeing than modern baking methods. He is an advocate of baking with organic, biodynamic and heirloom wheat strains, and other ancient grains, and exclusively uses wood fired ovens in his own bakeries. See less
