About Carl Shavitz: Carl Shavitz is the ultimate boutique baker. Every loaf of bread (http://www.artisan-bread-school.com/) he makes is 100 percent handmade without use of mixers or machines. Demand for his breads outstrips supply.
Originally from New York City, Shavitz settled in England as a Fulbright Scholar and had a 20-year career performing around the world as a lutanist. Shavitz later became a producer, working with WDUQ (NPR in Pittsburgh) and consultant to the UK's major commercial classical music station.
Then, he decided to become a chef.
Shavitz trained at The Village Bakery in Melmerby Cumbria and Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, Ireland. Once he started bread-making, he was hooked.
He worked at The Village Bakery and The Three Crowns Inn in Herefordshire before becoming an independent artisan baker, making bread for restaurants and specialty stores in the Cambridge (UK) area.
Five years ago, Shavitz established the Artisan Bread School, where he teaches classes for one month every spring. Demand for his classes in the United States resulted in an invitation from Miele USA to teach at several of its facilities. In 2010, he will be making his third trip to the US, as well as teaching at the UK's new School of Artisan Food.
