Market Day - spotlight on baking

Today was much busier than last week, maybe everyone was on holiday over the Easter period, or just out for days?  

Good to see everyone back, it was a good weather day for a market stall - no wind or rain, the sun even popped out from time to time, we can get quite battered out there on windy days :)

There was a good selection of baking and we started with quite a stall full, and apart from a couple of packs it was all sold.  

The quiches were very popular and could have sold more.  We do several sizes, and they are all suitable for freezing, so you can eat some and freeze some.

See you all next Thursday

Special Diets

Dairy free victoria sponge

We have a new baker that has just started and she is baking delicious goodies that are suitable for gluten free diets, as well as dairy free, making some of them suitable for vegetarians and vegans.  Anything labelled suitable for vegans will be egg free.

One of her children is allergic to dairy, and as she is also a vegetarian with another family member a vegan it gives her the incentive to seek out recipes that taste fantastic, and available to those that have intolerances.

Dairy free choc chip cookies

Those suffering from Celiac disease need to follow a gluten free diet, and often miss out on delicious baking, so maybe we can tempt you on Thursday morning.

Gluten free carrot cake

This week you will be able to buy gluten free gingerbread loaf, dairy/egg free/ cherry & almond cookies and hopefully Lemon and poppyseed muffins.



Don't forget that all of our baking is freshly made, and much of it will be suitable for freezing, although the chocolate chip cookies are probably not best to be put in the freezer, and I recommend eating them :)
