Summary

With over 10 years of experience as a home baker I have honed both my culinary and professional skills to produce deliciously morish fresh bread. From a young age I have developed a passion for tasting and sharing brilliant combinations of traditional baking with innovative twists. Currently a passionate and creative English Literature student who is looking forward to bringing my talents and recipes to small businesses and restaurants.
