2. Our story
My passion for healthy, home baked food goes way back to my childhood. Growing
up in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, my family had a Tearooms, Guesthouse and
Antique shop.
Everything we served was home baked by my mother in her Stanley range. She
started at dawn every morning, filling the range with logs and turf to make
delicious soda breads, scones, cakes, biscuits, jams and her famous homemade lemonade. The most
wonderful aroma regularly wafted through every nook and cranny in the house. To this day, the smell
of freshly baked food evokes happy memories of the Tea Rooms.
Like Mum, my hobby has now turned into my business. I’m so happy to make luxury, gluten free food
affordable, so that everyone can enjoy it with their friends and family.
