The Bertinet Kitchen opened in September 2005 in the centre of beautiful and historic Bath. Owned and run by French baker and chef Richard Bertinet, the school offers a range of relaxed and fun courses for food lovers of all abilities and specialist baking and bread making courses for amateurs and professionals alike. Bertinet has made a name for himself in the international arena of chefs and bakers, earning awards for both his cooking school and his publications

Based on Richard’s award winning book Dough, you will learn how to make and work the dough to create a range of breads from a white and an olive dough. One of the most important aspects of learning how to work dough, is really by studying and observing the hands of a master like Bertinet. Being critiqued on your own technique during this course, will also ensure you really understand the breadmaking secrets used by generations of professional bakers and shared with top chefs.

By the end of the course you will have created fougasse, tin loaves, bread sticks and focaccia amongst others. The collaborative learning environment will give you the opportunity to share your ideas and creations with others in the classroom, and will get you to the top of your breadmaking game!
