Situated in the beautiful Peak District of Derbyshire,

Marmalady's Cakes & Preserves

aims to provide the best in traditional home-made food.

I have always enjoyed cooking -- I started as a child when helping prepare meals often meant being excused washing up afterwards. This meant I learnt to cook wholesome meals and dishes often from recipes that my mother had learnt from her mother. The family budget was stretched  by making all our own bread, cakes and jams -- and so as I grew up and had my own family, I continued to cook, bake & preserve, combining many old favourite  recipes with a willingness to try out new tastes & techniques.

For many years I produced cakes, preserves and crafts for Buxton W I Market (now called Country Markets).  When Buxton Country Market closed a friend and I branched out to run our  own stall at Farmer's Markets at Buxton, Whaley Bridge and Castleton. I still supply the Derbyshire Country Market stall at the Bakewell Farmer's Market.

I  provide preserves and cakes for the Country Fayre delicatessen in Bramhall, Cheshire 

All items are home-made by me in small batches, using only the best ingredients. No artificial preservatives, gelling agents or similar ingredients are used

My kitchen is registered with High Peak Borough Council and I hold a Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering
