WHERE: GREENWAYS – UK
Hi, I’m Richard and I’m proud to be joining the global Sfoglini community, representing the UK.
I started my journey as a Sfoglino later in life. 15 years working in media and communications had left me burned out and disconnected. During the Covid lockdowns, spent in the English countryside, I realised I no longer wanted to be tied to a desk, leading to a second career as an artisan baker. When I started learning more about handmade pasta, and rolled my first Sfoglia, it was like an epiphany and I knew that this was a world I wanted to be a part of.
From change in the flour quality from one day’s milling to another to how the granelloni and dough feel with the change in weather conditions – working with the Sfoglia allows me to connect with, and better understand, the world around me.
Having now completed the Professional programme I look forward to continuing my explorations and adventures as a Sfoglino in the UK and sharing the magic that the mattarello provides.
