Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin are the co­-founders of Ovenly, an award-­winning bakery based in New York City known for inventive flavor combinations that thoughtfully meld sweet and savory with a touch of spice. They are authors of the best­-selling cookbook Ovenly: Sweet and Salty Recipes from New York's Most Creative Bakery. Inspired by the Eastern European flavors of their youths, they create recipes that are complex but not complicated, and that play on tradition (think currant­ rosemary scones and pistachio ­cardamom quick bread) in creative and unique ways. With backgrounds in social justice (Erin) and social work (Agatha), the two are not only focused on building a national brand, but also in developing ethical business practices with a focus on job development and environmental sustainability. They aspire to be the first bakery to scale profits and social impact while maintaining quality and craftsmanship. Ovenly has a flagship bakeshop located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with a second shop in Urbanspace Vanderbilt, and is also one of the leading wholesalers of artisanal baked goods in NYC.
