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 specialty breads for several of the supermarket chains and advising small food related businesses. Richard’s baking classes for cookery schools are always sold out and last year he launched The Bertinet Kitchen (www.thebertinetkitchen.com), his immensely successful cookery school in Bath.
