I have continued experimenting and collecting bakery books through the years and when I saw a university course advertised to study baking at the National Bakery School in London, I felt it was meant to be! This started my career in baking which has allowed me to follow my great love for recipe and product development. I am also passionate about the future of the baking industry and this new role at Matthews Cotswold Flour allows me to combine both.”
