Afternoon Tea At Tea Party, Finchley

Serendipty is a wonderful thing. A random comment I made on Twitter about being in Finchley caught the attention of Samantha Check, who runs a tea room just round the corner from where I live. I’d never heard of Tea …

Van Beek & Specker, Rotterdam

I was in Holland a week or so ago, and my constant quest for local chocolate makers resulted in me finding one of the five shops Van Beek & Specker have in Rotterdam. Apparently these two families have been working …
