hristmas has come early this year at Cambridge Edition , and we’ve broken our tradition of keeping C word mentions to a minimum until December – diving into the festive fun a month early. From amazing light displays to ice skating, craft markets, gift ideas and delicious Yuletide treats, step into Christmas in Cambridge with us from page 37! In Anna’s gardening column, there’s excitement over blackened dahlias and first frosts (page 98), while Book Club recommends some fabulous new reads, including Elizabeth Day’s engrossing new thriller Magpie , on page 23. We’ve got a bumper Sip & Savour, too, featuring everything from secret supper clubs, street food and a new cocktail bar, to news on the local Great Taste Award winners flying the flag for the Cambridge food scene on a world stage. Also promising to inspire magnificent autumn feasts are Levante Kitchen’s beautiful recipes for pumpkin pie, pansotti and picagge – head to page 65 to find out more. It’s an important month for culture here in Cambridge, too, with two big hitters – Cambridge Film Festival and Cambridge Literary Festival – making a return, along with a host of great theatre and art exhibitions to
