Made the most decadent strawberry ice cream yesterday from a great recipe by Felicity Cloake, inspired by Agnes Marshall. Doesn't last long in the dish, & what a dish this is from my collection - A 1930s 'Jade Ware' stunner. Complete with 1940s 'Nutbrown' ice cream scoop.

A few days of much needed alone time
AND after months of planning slog, I finally submitted my Funding Application to make #museumofkitchenalia more accessible to the public, (worth a try!) Made this bad boy this morning, using all my best sweet pastry skills, for the other 2 bad boys in my life.

Happy nearly Easter! Here's a late Victorian wooden stamp to mark Hot Cross Buns from my collection. An almost identical one c. 1860 appeared in the press in the 1950s, from Peterborough Museum. Another metal one resides at Cothele,Cornwall @nationaltrust.org.uk 🐣
