`My Paternal Grandma was a professional cook for a big house on Peckham Rye before she was married.  She taught my mum to cook cakes and pastry.   My mum taught me.  I have always loved all of the old fashioned traditional cakes and buns.  I am happy to share all of my recipe, as everyone is always asking me for the recipe anyway. If I am looking for new recipes, my favourite recipe book is "The Cookery of England" by Elizabeth Ayrton.

Here are some of my favourites that you will be able to sample, all freshly made and delicious at Court Robert.
