Hercules Noble 'Will it Sourdough?

When you think of sourdough you might flash back to covid lockdowns when every man and their dog suddenly became a sourdough expert. One Aucklander who took it to the next level is Hercules Noble. Hercules is one of Auckland's most in demand private chefs and perhaps is best known for his popular 'Will it Sourdough' series on social media where he takes a random dish and sees if he can transform it into a loaf of sourdough. Think tiramisu, carbonara, or earl grey tea flavoured loaves. Hercules Noble talks about what life as a private chef is really like and shares his sourdough secrets with Paddy Gower and Mihi Forbes.
