WHO IS ADAM ROBINSON?


Adam takes great joy in describing himself as the old man that has spent the last 40 years pre-occupied with food, taste and the mechanics of cooking. Through the years Adam has successfully owned 3 restaurants, an outside catering and location catering company in London and host of other admirable endeavors!


Retired to South Africa in 2003, he now owns The Glenwood Bakery and Restaurant in Durban. The first bakery he has ever had, though he's been baking bread in restaurants since the early 90's.


A jokester who admits "I hate teaching and if not cooking would rather spend my time in my house playing the piano, reading, gardening and drinking. But the world needs more good bread ..."


A father of four grown up children and 2 grand kids. Whether your love is bread or family, Adam is a treat to be around!
