On 11 May, 2024 The Baking Jin held a soft launch of his East Meets West: Suffolk Supper Club – afternoon tea-style at his new home near Framlingham in Suffolk. This was a practice run to gauge interest, assess the set up and get feedback.

It’s been almost 6 years since he held his very first supper club in Cambridgeshire (I wrote about it here). He’s a real pro at it now, having done several pop ups in Cambridgeshire over the past years, like The Tasting Table and East Meets West @ Signorelli’s. I think this type of event will do well in Suffolk and I know I will continue to make the trip from Cambridge to enjoy Jin’s cooking and baking at his supper clubs.

The Baking Jin put together another wonderful parade of his (ESEA) East and South East Asian-inspired sweet and savoury delights. For the West to meet the East, Jin included ingredients from Suffolk producers as well as Afternoon Tea staples like earl grey tea and scones. Emmerdale Farm Shop beef, Bungay butter from Fen Farm Dairy, Adnams gin and homegrown walnuts from the garden (can’t get any more local than that) were incorporated into the menu.

The Tasting Table with Dulcedo, The Baking Jin and Bumble & Oak – Cambridge (UK)

I love it when a plan comes together. It’s no secret that I’m a great fan of the sweet treats produced by Andrew Hunter (Dulcedo), Jin Yee Chung (The Baking Jin) and Riadh Falvo (Bumble & Oak), but what if I brought together these three inventive makers for a special event? Some of us knew each other well, others only a little… but somehow they got on board with my idea for a collaboration, even though it was a lot of extra work for them. Jin and Riadh have full time jobs. Andrew and Joanna lost several hours of trade that day by closing early, not to mention the effort involved in all the preparation and using Dulcedo as the venue. I am so grateful for their trust in me to sell out the event.

The three of them concentrated on designing and developing the 8-course menu – a sweet (mostly) and savoury parade of innovative dishes, fusion bakes, high end patisserie and artisan chocolate. I took care of all the marketing and admin stuff, such as the event description, photos and ticket sales. Riadh came up with the name The Tasting Table.

The event formed part of my personal commitment to support independent producers and businesses so I didn’t charge for my services and paid for my own ticket and drinks. I did have a few advantages though, such as guaranteeing a ticket for myself and Paulo and getting a sneak peek at the menu so I could type it up and print individual copies. And of course, a glimpse behind the scenes is always a privilege.

Mozzarella Class by Biagio Staiano at Signorelli’s Deli – Cambridge (UK)

In March, Cambridge welcomed master cheesemaker Biagio Staiano for a fun and hands-on Mozzarella Class at Signorelli’s Deli. The event was made possible by Francesco Amato of online Italian food shop Agrumia who collaborated with Alex Signorelli to bring Biagio’s ‘art of making mozzarella’ to a group of 30 enthusiasts of Italian cheese.

Biagio showed us how to make the famous mozzarella from his family’s well-respected cheese factory in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast, Caseificio Staiano. It was such a privilege to draw on its 100-year history of artisan methods and taste the ingredients local to the ‘Milky Mountains’ (Monti Lattari) along the coast.

We enjoyed a welcome drink (a requisite Aperol Spritz for me) and our gregarious host Alex introduced Biagio and his lovely wife Karolina, who was the interpreter.
