“We are honoured to welcome Chef Porzia Vitali to the Academy to lead this exciting new course on the art of Artisan baking. While experienced home bakers will love this course, it has been developed specifically for those already in the industry in mind, such as culinary arts students, those in catering companies, chefs, or anyone who wants to master their baking skills,” said MCA Founder and CEO Kurt Mifsud.
