I started baking a wail ago, think it must have been almost 10 years back. For many years I was like a once in a while baker, reading the recipies at the back of flour packages and happy eating theese breads. Then I discovered sourdough in a danish book about outdoor cooking, and successfully created my first sourdough culture. Call it passion, but since than I have been a weekly baker and eating my selfmade, healthy rye bread each and every day (almost).

Combined with my other “baking” passion I have now created a norwegian sourdough baking site, build in CakePHP of course! Mostly I want to share and serve knowledge about sourdough baking and other baking relative thinks I have picked up, but also try out CakePHPish this and do nice design stuff. Check it out on www.surdeig.no.

Source code is awailable on code.google.com/p/gerhardsletten/ or (directly):
svn co http://gerhardsletten.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cakephp/surdeig

How I started baking with CakePHP

Then I found out about CakePHP in a web framework roundup in Pratical Webdesigner. Think it was the joy of a Ruby on Rails application structure combined with the fact that I didn’t had to learn another language that won me over. After a mounth of playing I was able to release my first app – my version of the famous blog tutorial hosted here at www.gersh.no (it has been refactored once since then).
