About

With over 18 years of hands-on baking experience, I am a dedicated baker and the Head Baker of Daily Bread, one of New Zealand’s most respected bakeries. I started my career at 15 and have since honed my craft in high-end bakeries and culinary schools, gaining insights into advanced techniques and fostering connections within the NZ baking industry. Now, I’m enhancing my expertise as a Bread Sommelier at Germany’s prestigious Weinheim Baking Academy, where I’m deepening my understanding of bread science and global baking traditions.

As I advance my skills, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge through my social media platforms, where I’ve built a following of engaged viewers. You can find me under the handle @orthodox.baker on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where I post baking tutorials, insights, and techniques. My videos have collectively reached millions, capturing the attention of both aspiring bakers and professionals.
