Hi, I’m Tatiana! So glad you’re here!
Welcome to Milk and Pop, where I share my passion for sourdough, bread, and comforting discard recipes (always with a side of coffee!).
I’ve been baking sourdough for over a decade, and while I’m not a trained chef, every tip, trick, and recipe I post has been tested in my home kitchen (often more times than I’d like to admit!). I believe sourdough doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be real, delicious, and doable for your everyday life.
Whether you're just starting out with your very first sourdough starter or looking to level up your bread game, you’re in the right place. I’m here to simplify the process and help you bake with more confidence, no matter how chaotic your day might be.
My Background
I’m half Italian, half German, and grew up in a small town in southern Brazil, where food meant love, comfort, and connection. I fell in love with baking as a child (shoutout to my neon pink toy stove, where I was convinced I was baking the world’s best carrot cake), and that curiosity eventually turned into a full-blown obsession with fermented dough, fluffy loaves, and buttery pastries.
These days, I split my time between writing, testing recipes, photographing bread, and sipping on strong coffee while planning my first sourdough cookbook (coming soon!).
