In this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting to Aidan Monks, the owner of Britain's Best Bakery - Lovingly Artisan.
After starting his first bakery in Kendal in the late 1980s, Aidan was introduced to real, slow-fermentation breadmaking by the French baker who sold him his first batch of artisanal flour. He has spent his life as a baker learning continuously about every aspect of real breadmaking, from the health of the soil to the cultivation of the cereal, the grinding of the grain to the mixing of the dough.
Aidan started Lovingly Artisan at home, selling from a shop on the platform at Oxenholme Station before opening today’s purpose-built bakery at Plumgarth’s Lakeland Food Park in 2010. The winner of many prestigious baking awards, including Baker of the Year at the BIA Awards – a coveted honour that can only be bestowed once – he now runs Lovingly Artisan with his wife, Catherine Connor, and a small team of talented bakers.
Just award for the second year running Britain’s Best Bakery voted for by fellow bakers and industry bodies.
