Hello, Happy Tuesday!
I know you dont normally hear from me midweek but I wanted to get this information into your inboxes as soon as possible! And dont worry a really fun recipe is coming your way at the end of the week as normal.
I am so excited that I can FINALLY annouce that I am once again headed stateside on a very speedy tour across the country (well a small part of it) celebrating my new book Small Batch Bakes. It is also happening VERY soon, ill be flying out at the end of this month! As a reminder the book is out in North America on Sept 24th.
I absolutely love doing these book tours, not only do get to visit and support some amazing independant book stores I also get to meet lots of you. I have almost no free time in any of the cities but I am determined to try and visit at least one brilliant bakery in each city so do let me know if there is a place I need to check out.
There has been more than a few stumbling blocks organising this tour, so my apologies for the late notice, but I really hope to meet as many as you as possible along the way. One last note, there are a couple events that haven’t posted the details on their websites yet so please take these as save the dates, I will update this post as soon as the links are available. For the NYC event all I can say at the moment is that it is an all-day event at a bakery in Manhattan, a kind of drop in situation, and there will be cookies and books!
If there is anyone you think would love the book, let them know I am coming stateside!

All Day Event - I will hopefully be able to announce this fully this week but get this date in your diary becuase its going to be brilliant. I am partnering with a brilliant bakery who will be making cookies from the book and selling copies of the book. I will be there all day, hanging out and signing copies of the book. This will be the end of the US tour so I am hoping to finish in style.
Edd - so happy to see this, but hoping you would also come to Boston! Love your subscription and earlier books.
Just signed up for the McLean event! See you in October!
