The Educated Chef

I’m very happy that my friend recently introduced me to the Educated Chef breads! We have tried the whole wheat sourdough, rye sourdough, and multiseed sourdough. All delicious!! We have eaten fresh and also followed the directions he gave for freezing in slices. Works beautifully!

Turns out women can live by bread alone, if it’s delicious Sourdough or sourdough twist! Also the peach 🍑 hand pie, fabulous just the right sweet and tart . Order something you’ll be glad you did!

Thanks, Educated Chef, for your fantastic sourdough breads! We just stocked up on the whole wheat, 10-grain, and bread sticks. They are hearty, flavorful, and freeze well. We also tried the peach hand-pies, which had a beautiful summer flavor with fresh peach and a hint of lemon. Buttery crust and not too sweet. Delish.

Real sourdough bread. My wife and I especially like the Traditional loaf and the baguette. Do find Mark and partake of his sourdough offerings.

My wife brought home of Mark's bread and it was out of this world. It's the best artisanal homemade bread that I have had in the Hudson Valley. I encourage EVERYBODY to reach out to Mark or visit him at the Poughkeepsie Farmer's Market on Thursdays and try his breads for themselves. You won't be disappointed!

I absolutely adore Mark's incredible artisanal bread and the Educated Chef enterprise! It is obvious that he bakes his homemade bread with much love and care. Whenever I bite into his bread, it feels like a warm hug! His sourdough baguette is SO delicious. I love swiping it with extra virgin olive oil, and the taste is divine! Try it and see. I promise that you will be a fan for life!

I am a VERY picky bread buyer, and a home bread baker, so I was astonished when I bought these breads. Superb! Olive, onion, sourdough are all fantastic. My only regret is that I don't live closer to the Poughkeepsie Farmer's Market. :)

I've been buying bread from Mark for 10 years, and I love all of his sour dough bread varieties, they are fresh, tasty, holism, and most of the time still warm because mark delivers after it's been freshly baked. The prices are unbelievably low. I would strongly recommend getting in touch with mark/ the educated chef for your next desired taste for bread.

I’ve been buying breads from Mark for over three years. My favorites are his Irish Soda Bread and Sourdough Rye. His other styles are also very good. He typically sells at weekly farmers markets. Once you get on his email distribution, you’ll be offered purchase opportunities outside of the farmers market seasons. That can include home delivery, a service I’ve often used and find extremely convenient. Who else offers that?

Mark is a wonderful baker with the best sourdough breads I have eaten. And, for the holidays, he makes a totally unique platter of Christmas cookies that are irresistible.

Mark is always delivering excellent products - week in and week out you can count on him. And for special occasions, he goes above and beyond to offer cookie plates, specialty breads and the like.

In addition, he is always questing for new recipes and experimenting to bring sourdough to every playing field. You won't regret anything you try from him.
