Most Sundays you’ll find me in the garden with Cuppa, my dogs and cookery books. This August Bank holiday weekend was no different, although it was a little cooler.
My latest book from the National Trust “Book of Bread” has some of my favourite recipes including a “Sally Lunn“. The story goes that the Sally Lunn was a French Huguenot who set up a bakery in Bath. Her signature sweet bread was named after her. She turned a simple white loaf into a sweet bread by using milk and dried fruit, I include cherries in mine and topped with water icing. I’ve even topped them with sprinkles.
Here’s a few images of my Sally Lunn bakes I made during the summertime.
