My name is Jason Rideout. I have been baking professionally since 1988. I never went to baking or pastry school, but rather, started learning on the job as an apprentice baker. Then, after a few years I got to the point where I started buying baking books, reading them and trying out different recipes and methods at home on my own. While there is always something to learn, I realize I have some skills and knowledge that may be useful to the home or hobby baker as well as some things for some professionals, so my intent is to share some of these things with anyone who chooses to watch. Thanks for checking out my videos and have a great day!
