Author, food stylist and presenter Genevieve Taylor has written a number of books including most recently The Ultimate Wood Fired Cook Book. If you follow her on Instagram you’ll be rewarded with wonderful pictures of outdoor cooking (whatever the weather!) that goes way beyond the bbq classics. Her other books cover topics from soup, stews, pies and a whole book on the wonderful egg. Brilliant presents for experienced cooks and novices alike.

10am – 11am Lia Leendertz

Award-winning gardener and food writer Lia Leendertz’s 2019 Almanac revives the tradition of the rural almanac, connecting you with the months and seasons via moon-gazing, foraging, feast days, seasonal eating, meteor-spotting and gardening. This makes a wonderful gift for growers and food lovers giving a glimpse into the bounty of the coming year.

11am – noon Claire Thompson

Chef, food writer and mother, Claire is bringing a new approach to family cooking. Her first three books The 5 o’clock apron, National Trust Family Cookbook and the Art of the Larder are soon to be joined by New Kitchen Basics. Her recipes celebrate fresh ingredients, store cupboard basics and dishes the whole family will love to cook and eat.

The bakery will be open as normal from 7am to 3pm.
