  1. Love it! What a great idea and everything from Jan Hedh tastes heavenly! If anyone is up in Edinburgh they should try Peter’s Yard (www.petersyard.com) where Jan Hedh spreads the modern artisan baking culture of Sweden.

  2. Yes Peter's Yard is excellent, though I'm biased as it was started by our neighbours Sophie and Robin Dow.
