Our Food Market Farewell

This Saturday August 3rd marks our last stall at the Crystal Palace Food Market before we embark on our journey back to NYC.  We have made a few upgrades to our menu, keeping with the organic/free range promise we made from the start, we have now omitted all processed flours and refined sugars in our recipes. Using organic whole wheat & Doves Farm Gluten free blend flours and unrefined sugars such as organic honey and organic Billingtons sugars, we hope you the changes as much as we do!

We have loved being a part of the CP food market family, and it is so bittersweet that we are leaving. What they have done for the area and the immediate community is nothing short of amazing. A great, laid back shopping experience with the freshest veg and meat.  (*personal favourite is the Patchwork farm mixed salad- I swear you haven't had salad until you've tried this- and its ONLY .50P a bag!) Each producer is patient, knowledgeable and most important- passionate about their food!  We wish them all nothing but the best and can not wait to visit when we are back in town.


In addition to great food and our amazing treats, local favourite Cafe Thing is open during the market serving delicious drinks and snacks, as well as curating local talent for the 'Buskers corner' of the market. Yes that's right- LIVE MUSIC! We hope you can come see us off in style this Saturday!  Directions to the market can be found here:

Meet Bowie


We have finally named our yeast starter after over a month of receiving it from our neighbour. Meet Bowie, our wild yeast starter, who contributes pancakes, bread and most recently English muffins to our home. 
These English muffins were so easy to prep and the best part is you cook them on a flat griddle- no oven needed! The perfect bread to make in a heat wave! 
                    Bowie bubbling 
                 Muffins on the rise
   And yes, plenty of nooks and crannies!

             Have a great weekend!

Next Chapter: New York

The British Summer has finally arrived, and this heat has been helping to distract me from the fact that we are moving to New York in about 6 weeks time.  We love London and are sad to go, but we will be back soon & often for visits. 
We will be changing a few things when we go abroad, possibly trying out a few of our favourite British desserts along side our American classics. We will be taking orders up until August 3rd- which will also be our last Crystal Palace Food Market. We strongly recommend placing an advance order if you plan on visiting the market. That way we can guarantee you can get everything you want before we head across the pond.  Please email Cookieandbiscuituk@gmail.com for more info. And remember we do accept special requests, and will try to accommodate all dietary needs/ intolerances. 

We would also like to take a moment to thank a few special people who have supported us over the last few months. We couldn't have done it without your help
