A lovely full circle ⭕️ story. This client rented our house in Devon, where I left a bag of my home made granola as a welcome 🤗. A year later they employed me to cater their 50th birthday party in Highgate, on the strength of the granola, (& the sun shining over the house in Devon that week, must have influenced their positive feelings!). Visitors don’t know how lucky they are when the sun shines, & can be lulled onto a false sense of security that the sun doth shine in Devon, always 🌧 ☔️ 😂. It was so lovely meeting them, & being trusted to cook for such a special event on the strength of a bag of of the aforementioned. I presented them with another bag, of course, hence the circle ⭕️ AND the ⭐️’s of show, as always, are the amazing staff. Good food alone, is not enough. I’m so grateful always to all that help me, & on this occasion Mitch & Narcizo. What a testament, & how lucky I am to have

Vegan Chocolate Cake. Such a great recipe. I’ve always been a bit suspicious of vegan baking & never understood how you can make a light, airy cake with no eggs, but this works a treat. I don’t think you’d guess it was even .
