The Team

Who We Are

Fulden Tur

Founder

Fulden’s story started with a deep respect for food and traditions based on her family’s heritage, travels and work experience. She has been baking and cooking with her mother and her grandmother since she was a child and is so in love with it. She love to travel, cook, meet new people and share her passion and family recipes with others. Her goal is to create an intimate learning experience that is fun-filled, friendly and inviting. She loves to get people excited about spending time together in the kitchen. Professionally, she has a training and development and management background in the corporate food and beverage industry.

The Dough House feels like home rather than work to Fulden and she & the team are grateful for all the love they receive from their guests.

Mike Lok

Instructor

Mike has been cooking from the tender age of 13, beginning with wholesome, simple and homely Chinese food. Throughout the years, he has expanded his repertoire to include South East Asian and Indian cuisine to name but a few. He’s continuously learning new recipes and techniques to serve up humble and deliciously authentic food inspired by memories of his childhood, work, travel and people. For the most part, it's simply his passion for eating delicious food!

Relocating from London to Stratford-Upon-Avon and leaving his old corporate life, Mike is so pleased to have found a home at The Dough House.

Joanna Sanderson

Instructor & Interiors

Jo first got involved with The Dough House 4 years ago when she was asked to create a ceiling floral display. Fulden and Jo had an immediate connection and have been working together ever since.

In 2022 Fulden was looking for someone to run her afternoon tea experience and as a passionate home baker, Jo was the perfect choice! After a year of training with Fulden, she now runs the Afternoon Tea and Cream Tea experiences at The Dough House.

Jo feels that TDH is her second home.

Sofia Gallo

Instructor

Sofia has always been interested in food since she was a child, growing up in Cilento, in Southern Italy. She was lucky enough to be shown how to cook tradition Italian food by her ‘Nonna’ and absolutely loves cooking with fresh seasonal ingredients. Sofia’s passion for food, led her taking part in MasterChef UK 2021 and make the quarterfinals where she wowed the judges with simple ingredients always 'styled with class' (cit. John Torode). She also recently won the ICG Cooking Competition Award, against other National Finalists, cooking for renowned chef judges.

Sofia now lives in Buckinghamshire with her family and will begin running experiences at The Dough House in April. Sofia thinks The Dough House is so beautiful and is really excited about working with the lovely TDH team.
