Oat & Spelt 'Digestive' Biscuits

Posted on

In my post about Terrone Coffee Pop-Up, I mentioned that I have been baking cakes and biscuits to sell at the café. I made my favourite Carrot Cake and Chocolate Chip & Minstrels Cookies, which I blogged about last week. I also made Oat and Spelt 'Digestive'...

Terrone Coffee Pop-up in Brixton

Posted on

In February I wrote a post about Terrone Coffee: the coffee shack located in Netil Market is still open every Saturday (despite being affected by a fire that broke out at the market last month and damaged the shipping container where it's based). Now...

The Monocle Café

Posted on

It all began when a photograph appeared on Pinterest a few weeks ago: white stucco fronted house, black and white canopy, big shop window, pendant lights, coffee machine. And a name that immediately evokes style, appeal and design: Monocle. I fell in...

Chocolate Chip & Minstrels Cookies

I've been a busy bee this weekend, baking loads of cakes and biscuits for Terrone's pop-up coffee shop in Brixton! Photos to come soon... I decided to make simple chunky chocolate chip cookies, because that's one of the things I usually crave when drinking...

Beastie Egg by Hotel Chocolat

Posted on

Easter is around the corner and, although weather-wise it still feels like Christmas, at least we have an excuse to eat lots of chocolate! I never buy Easter Eggs for myself, as I think they should be given and received as a gift. I am not sure if this...
