herman sourdough

I found a recipe on the King Arthur site for making a herman sourdough from sourdough, milk, flour and sugar.  It is an easier way to make the Amish friendship starter that was popular a few years back.  It makes a great, moist long keeping cake.  There is a book called Best of Sourdough Herman by Dawn Johanson.  It has recipes for cakes, muffins and breads.  Anyone familiar with this book?  Any comments on it? Iam considering adding it to my library.  Anyone have any good recipes using the herman sourdough?  Thanks

Bakerincanada,

Sorry, I know nothing about the book or making herman sourdough, but  I  am very interested in learning more about it.  I've seen recipes for the starter and uses for it on a favorite site of mine  www.allrecipes.com.  You could compare recipes and people leave lots of feedback.

I hope this thread is still active! I noticed that somebody said that they used their Herman to make tortillas. Would you be willing to share the recipe??? My email is: disipio9@frontiernet.net

Thank you,
