Richard Bertinet trained as a baker in Brittany and at the Grand Moulin de Paris. After a position as Operations Director with the Novelli Group of restaurants Richard set up the Dough Co. in 2000 developing speciality breads for several of the supermarket chains and advising small food related businesses. In 2005 Richard launched The Bertinet Kitchen (www.thebertinetkitchen.com), his immensely successful cookery school in Bath. His previous books (published by Kyle Books) include the bestselling Dough and Cook.

Although designed to appeal to customers of his baking courses, this is equally suited to someone new to baking who's been inspired by the artisan-made sourdoughs on sale at farmers' markets and swish bakeries.'
