If you’re one of the many who queues around the street on a Sunday morn to cop one of Darcie Maher‘s pain au chocolat at Lannan Bakery in Edinburgh, then you might be interested to hear about a collaborative event coming up at the beloved bakery this week.

Pastry chef, recipe developer and now author, Nicola Lamb, will be heading to the Stockbridge favourite this Thursday 30th May from 8am to share her new cookbook, the Sunday Times Bestseller Sift: The Elements of Great Baking, as well as offer some menu collaborations at the shop.

The exclusive pastries and bakes on offer as part of this special collaboration include:

  • St Honoré Cherry Danish, made with Lannan’s croissant pastry
  • Peach and Tomato Panzanella Danish, also made with Lannan’s croissant pastry
  • Coriander Seed, Panela and Apricot Cake with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting

“I’m also so happy to be announcing menu collaborations with some incredible bakeries: I’ll be at @lannanbakery on Thursday 30th May and @Farrobakery on Tuesday 18th June!” she posted.

These exciting pop-ups offer a rare opportunity to taste creations from one of the biggest names in baking in the UK.

She trained in some of London and New York’s top bakeries, including Dominique Ansel, Ottolenghi, Happy Endings, and Little Bread Pedlar, and is the author of Kitchen Projects, a top food and drink newsletter on Substack, praised as an ‘incredible resource’ by The Observer.

Nicola has also written for Serious Eats, The Guardian, Olive, Vogue, and ES Magazine and hosts sell-out pastry parties with her pop-up bakery, lark! and has collaborated with notable names like Verena Lochmuller of Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, Toklas Bakery, Soft & Swirly, and Kossoffs, among others.
