PAULA GRAY

Paula Gray is an accomplished culinary instructor and is the chief Life Skills Bread Baking Program instructor for the King Arthur Flour Company in Norwich, Vermont.

Paula has worn an educator's hat for over 20 years. Starting as an elementary school teacher, she has been an educator in food cooperatives, community theaters, fitness centers and museums. Paula has also worked as a baker at a Vermont farm and run her own catering business. Most recently, she was the Food Programs Coordinator at the Co-op Food Stores in Hanover, N.H., where she taught cooking classes covering a wide range of topics to hundreds of customers, employees and the community at large.

Raised in Ohio, Paula began baking bread with her Italian grandmother. With the help of 50-pound bags of flour, a large metal baby bathtub, and a special blanket to help the dough rise, Paula and her grandmother spent time baking many, many loaves of bread together.

Paula lives in Thetford, Vermont, and when she is not baking bread with King Arthur Flour, she spends her time running, cycling, and enjoying her family.

 

CAROLYN HACK

Carolyn Hack began baking as a child on her family's farm in New Jersey and now brings her passion and years of experience to bear as a National Baking Class Instructor for the King Arthur Flour Company of Norwich, Vermont.

Carolyn has a background in theatrical design, working in theater for about 25 years and teaching high school and college students around the country. While her professional life has been dominated by the arts, Carolyn's home life has always involved lots of cooking and baking. As a young girl, Carolyn baked a cake for her five siblings every day one summer, learning through trial and error the art of baking. Carolyn enjoys baking pies, pastries and bread in her masonry oven during most of the year, and recently has been teaching her four children to bake.

Raised on a farm in northwest New Jersey, Carolyn worked in theater in Seattle for 10 years before moving back to the east coast to make her home. Carolyn now lives on a small farm in Thetford Center, Vermont. When she is not baking bread with King Arthur Flour, she spends her time making fine art paintings as artist Carolyn Enz.
