A New Farmers Market - Penshurst Place

Sorry it has been such a long time since my last post, February was a very busy month! Here is the latest Bake and Crafthouse news...

I have started selling at Penshurst Farmers Market which is in the most beautiful setting at Penshurst Place near Tunbridge Wells. It is held on the 4th Saturday each month and they have a cake lady so I am making desserts, this has involved a few pastry casualties but I am getting better each time and trying out lots of lovely new recipes including Hazelnut Meringues, Rhubarb & Custard Tarts & a Sticky Toffee Nut Pie, all delicious!

The market in February took place the day it snowed so it was a crisp and freezing morning but by last Saturday Spring was already in the air and I can't wait for the next market on Easter Saturday and I'm already looking forward to Summer mornings in the countryside.

I have also perfected my jam tarts using the Bake and Crafthouse jam, lovingly made by my Dad and I have just taken delivery of a fresh batch of two types of marmalade, more on this soon. Perfect timing for my Baking with Jam and Marmalade Workshop (for adults) coming up on May 22nd.

I have also been working on a new blog for the Cranbrook Farmers Market so take a look here for producer profiles and monthly news.
