About Jennifer Stango anD Sunday Fire Food

Some recipes start with a sourdough starter.

Others start with a fire.

Sunday Fire Food is where artisan baking and traditional cooking come together.

What began as a way to document recipes, techniques, and kitchen experiments has grown into a place for sourdough bread, small-batch cookies, seasonal baking, and the occasional obsession with cooking over flame.

I believe some of the best food requires patience. A loaf of sourdough might take two days. A great cookie recipe can take dozens of test batches. Fire cooking teaches the same lesson—slow down, pay attention, and let the process do its work.

After more than twenty years working in technology and consulting, I found myself happiest in the kitchen. What started as a hobby became a passion, and eventually became Sunday Fire Food.

Today, Sunday Fire Food serves two purposes:

Artisan sourdough, signature cookies, seasonal baking, and small-batch products made in my California cottage kitchen.

Recipes, techniques, outdoor cooking, pizza nights, and the experiments that happen when curiosity meets a little too much free time.

Whether it’s baked in an oven, cooked over fire, or shared around a table with family and friends, the goal is always the same:

Simple ingredients. Traditional techniques. Food worth sharing.
