Local bread and pastry maker Ed Baker (sadly not his real name) came to talk to us about his fascinating journey from Lebanon to Lewisham, via many glamourous points along the way, and his transformation from city slicker to artisan baker, with the opening of his Ladywell bakery in 2022. He gave us some wonderful tips about baking, described his produce in mouth-watering detail, and was so open and positive about the challenges he has faced along the way. Ed also brought along two of his magnificent sourdough loaves – one was shared with almost biblical precision amongst the meeting, and the other was the much coveted first prize in our monthly raffle! A wonderful evening!! Very many thanks to our very own baking team for providing an excellent spread of cakes for the evening.
“Thank you for arranging such an interesting interesting speaker!”
