I also hold the prestigious title of the Olive&Moss top chef!  However, I have been in a bit of a rut over my cuisine lately as I’m at a loss for ideas and I think it’s time for some inspiration! What better place to go than the world’s food capital? Paris of course! With my Eurostar ticket in hand I hopped on the last train on Wednesday, ready for some adventure.

Keen to blend into the crowd, I asked Mrs Jane, my personal tailor, if she could make me a nice striped top and beret, so chic!  I could not possibly come to such a beautiful city without doing a bit of sightseeing…

There is so much to see! I even picked up some of the lingo…

What a shame Mo couldn’t come with me.

But what about the food?

And the cakes?

I definitely need to sample some of these!

What a wonderful trip! Paris is truely amazing and I am now full of ideas and new recipes… Watch out Rachel, maybe I should open my own “Little Paris Kitchen”! Time to go back to London but I will be visiting Paris again soon. Lots of love, Margot x

Margot followed her extremely simple reciepe of eggs, flour and milk to make some fantastic pancakes!

She whisked the ingredients together in a jug….

Who knew her little arms were so powerful?

Once the mixture was smooth and free from lumps, Margot poured some of the mixture in to a hot, greased frying pan.

She made sure she cooked the pancake on both sides before plating it up and covering it with some lemon juice and lots and lots of sugar!

We made sure she brushed her teeth thoroughly that night!

Hope you have all had a good week and have a fantastic  (hopefully sun-filled) weekend!x

Margot the Mouse, our resident baker, is feeling especially Christmassy. She even treated us all to her home-made mince pies!

It was great to get out of the studio and relax after a year of working extremely hard!

The team wish you all an extremely merry Christmas and a very happy new year!x

It was the day of our Christmas Sale at The Rosendale Pub in West Dulwich. Having always held the event in our studio, we were all very excited to be branching out!

The day was a huge success, with the added bonus of Mums and babies being able to take a break from some serious shopping to have a spot of lunch!

We would like to thank everyone who came to the sale and we hope to see you all again at our next one!
