Chris Payne
After a classic lemon tart helped him win the title of Norfolk’s Home Chef of the Year in 2019, Chris became our resident baker at the cookery school. By day he works in IT but outside of this he’s an avid foodie and has a passion for all things dough. If you want to know about leavening, laminating or enriching then he’s your man.
He believes there’s a baker waiting to get to an oven in every keen cook and loves to share his knowledge and experience along with a wealth of easily repeatable and tasty recipes. With his classes you’ll never cease to impress family and friends!
