Change the way you look at bread forever

Richard Bertinet is a master of his craft who has decided to share his knowledge with the world. First there was his ultra-user-friendly book Dough… And now, if you enjoyed the film, you can meet the cast. Richard and his wife, Jo, have opened the Bertinet Kitchen in Bath, offering hands-on baking lessons. I’ve just had one and it was revelatory… It might change the way you look at bread forever

Life-changing tricks in the kitchen

People come from all over the world to take [Richard Bertinet’s] cookery and baking courses—even from over the Channel. As if persuading the French to learn cooking in England weren’t proof enough of Richard’s genius, during our lesson, he also convinced a pescophobe to skin a haddock, got a wheat avoider nibbling Bertinet bread, and let me in on the easy but life-changing method behind the perfectly chopped onion. Everyone left with a new trick to turn in the kitchen, a smile on their face and a full belly
