Cooks & Books: Twelve Triangles' Emily Cuddeford & Rachel Morgan for Kitchen Table

Please note, this is now taking place in Pilrig St Paul's / LARCH.

Join us to celebrate gorgeous debut cookbook from beloved Scottish bakery, Twelve Triangles.

Rachel Morgan and Emily Cuddeford fell in love with cooking and baking early in life and both ended up leaving their burgeoning arts careers to work with food. Rachel formally trained at Edinburgh New Town Cookery School. Meanwhile, with no formal cooking experience, Emily got through to the TV rounds of Masterchef when she was 18, but quickly learned that service kitchens were not for her.

However, she loved baking and working on food behind the scenes. Whilst at University in Brighton, Emily's dream bakery opened in Edinburgh, and this is where she met Rachel. When they advertised for a role, she immediately applied and moved back to Edinburgh; together, they created Twelve Triangles.

Simple things made well.
