DULCEDO Soon there’ll hardly be a corner of Cambridge that isn’t home to some serious patisserie prowess, and we have Dulcedo to thank for that. Due to open at the end of September, the new shop on Mill Road hopes to follow on from the success of the much-loved original shop on Hills Road and the second shop in Eddington. facebook.com/dulcedopatisserie

IWM COOKING TUTORIALS Imperial War Museums has teamed up with award-winning baker and food writer Dan Lepard to offer a series of cook-along video tutorials. The videos, which can be accessed via the IWM’s social media channels, feature exclusive insight from historians and real-life experiences of those who lived through the second world war, celebrating the ingenuity and community spirit that brought people together in times of hardship. “Recent months have seen many of us turn to cooking, baking and getting creative in the kitchen for some much-needed comfort and entertainment,” says Dan. “IWM’s extensive archives contain a stack of fantastic and easy recipes, as well as first-hand accounts of the challenges – from vegetable growing to rationing – that wartime cooking presented. Drawing inspiration from these, I am excited to have teamed up with the museum to release a series of short videos that celebrate simple ingredients, delivering unexpected flavour and a side of history.” The cook-along video tutorials will offer modern twists on classic recipes from the 1940s, including hearty homemade puddings, curry dishes and rationing classics like potato-wrapped sardines. All of the recipes have been inspired by IWM’s book, Victory in the Kitchen: Wartime Recipes , which can be purchased on the IWM website. iwm.org.uk
