This is Nancy Silverton’s recipe. Add about a pound of organic purple grapes to equal amounts of All Purpose Flour and H2O. Leave in a warm place in your kitchen covered with a cloth or plastic wrap.

1lbs Grapes 1lbs Ap flour 1lbs Spring water

When mixture begins to bubble and foam, remove grapes and begin to feed and replenish your starter. Each day, remove about 30% of the mixture and replace it with an equal amount of flour and water. When your starter is vigorous and sweet/sour, you are ready to use it in a recipe.
