Chad Robertson is the cofounder of Tartine, now with six locations in Northern and Southern California and Seoul, South Korea. His foundational book, Tartine Bread, became the manual for home bread bakers who aspired to recreate his world-famous rustic country loaves and established him as the premier American bread baker. Robertson is also the coauthor of Tartine, written with Elisabeth Prueitt, and the author of Tartine Book No. 3. The recipient of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef, Robertson has appeared in a wide range of publications, from the New York Times to Vogue.

Jennifer Latham is Tartine’s director of bread and manages the bread-making teams in Northern and Southern California, collaborating with Robertson on innovations and techniques. She and Robertson cowrote and recorded the audiobook Getting Started with Sourdough.
