This month I will be mainly eating Warrens’ saffron cake-hot cross bun outcross. Much softer and fluffier than orthodox Cornish saffron cake – one part of the holy trinity of Cornish delicacies* – and more vivid in colour and flavour than standard-issue hot cross buns. Easter only. 80p for a four-pack!
*The other two parts of the trinity being, of course,
my namesake pasties and cream.

If you like saffron, you will love this rigatoni with braised chicken and saffron cream. It is unbelievable.

Most delicious hot cross buns by far in North Cornwall are at St Kew Harvest Farm Shop, made by artisan baker Sue Pugh. They even beat Barnecutt’s of Bodmin (which bake the best “industrial” version in these parts)

I know, I know… Warrens probably bakes from an industrial estate not a cottage kitchen but they are good. I think I can smell your yeast buns from here..

Oh no you have gone mainstream…which reminds me Hot Cross Buns on the menu, made by my own fair hands..Easter Treat instead of Scones…also have you tried a yeast bun? just Divine and the fantastic smell of yeast when cooking drives you mad!
