Meet your Tutor - David Jones of Manna from Devon Cooking School

David is one half of Manna from Devon Cooking School in the south of the UK; he runs the cooking school with his wife Holly. 

David loves teaching how to cook on woodfired ovens and has been doing so since 2008 when we first started our woodfired courses. He's been cooking with wood his entire life. 

As well as teaching courses here at the cooking school, David has taught students on their own ovens all over the UK and further afield so has developed an instinctive knowledge for how ovens will work, how to get the best out of them and how to improve their performance. 

David is known as a patient teacher and is more than happy to share his knowledge - he really wants you to love cooking with your woodfired oven as much as he does.

When not cooking with a woodfired oven, his passions include breadmaking, walking his dogs around the stunning countryside we live in, doing cryptic crosswords and travelling, usually to see more woodfired ovens!
