Last weekend consisted of baking…baking….and well… more baking! But this was a weekend with a very welcome relaxed and stress-free difference! I was baking for the Crafty Tea Party at the very prestigious Cambridge Cookery School, which is in fact perfectly secluded within the City of Cambridge itself, a real local secret that is best kept under lock and key, otherwise everybody would want to spend time here

Although I nearly couldn’t bare to share their cake and let you in on it! Hehe Abantu is a small and fairtrade shop in the Cambridgeshire countryside, offering gifts sourced from third world countries as well as locally made items such as jewellery and kitchen ware. I

CAMBRIDGE COOKERY SCHOOL The very lovely and talented Tine Roche, Owner and Head Chef at the Cambridge Cookery School has allowed me over the last few months to ta
I have to admit that before I started conjuring up Tea Party fun and frolics, I was a PG Tips drinker… Ahem. And I am not afraid to admit it. We all have to start somewhere. Yes, I openly admit, that I had no experiences of the strong, smoky smell of a Lapsang Souchong, or the excitement and new taste sensation of my guests’ favourite Rooibos Tea with Rhubarb and Custard …Yes, you heard it right – Dri
