Fudge Kitchen, Cambridge

I was a regular visitor to Fudge Kitchen on King's Parade in Cambridge during my student days - mainly for a quick sugar fix between lectures or to share the unique and delicious fudge experience with guests to the city - but had neglected it somewhat over the last couple of years. A few weekends ago I popped into the shop with some friends from London and wowed them with the many flavours of fudge and knowledgeable and friendly staff. The brief visit definitely consolidated my love of the confectioner, so when Fudge Kitchen HQ asked me to sample some fudge and write a review of my experience I jumped at the chance...

You may remember earlier this year I mentioned my Sunday afternoon visit to a lovely plot of town allotments in Hertfordshire and how envious I was of the space and peace and quiet in which to start one's very own version of The Good Life. You can read the blog post and see the photos here.

It has taken a while for the British weather to be kind enough and deliver the right amount of sunshine to go with the torrential rain we've been having lately. Yet, finally, this weekend Margie White has been busily harvesting the allotment's crops and turning them into some wholesome, home-cooked delights. 

Unfortunately I'm not sampling MW's wares in person but I'm lucky enough to have some beautiful photos to share with you all. I think you'll agree that there's nothing better than rustic, vibrant, fresh ingredients lovingly transformed into some good old comfort food.
