Dan McTiernan is the co-founder of the award winning and inspirational Handmade Bakery and School of Slow.

The first Community Supported Bakery in the UK, The Handmade Bakery has inspired a new wave of small, sustainable bakeries throughout the UK and beyond. By showing that a business based on delicious slow fermented organic bread and cooperative working models can be a success, Dan has helped the real bread revolution become what it is today.

The School of Slow is part of Dan and Johanna McTiernan's vision to bring real, healthy food in to the centre of communities, families and the kitchen table. At the school they teach beginners and professionals how to make fantastic artisan bread and how to start community bakery projects in their own neighbourhoods.
