It’s time to let you know what’s in The Food Calendar for September. I’m struggling to believe we’re already into September, my boys will be back at school next week (or starting school for Josh!) and I feel as though I’ve not done half of the things I planned to do during the summer holidays. That said anyone taking a look at my Instagram Stories will have noticed we’ve managed plenty of trips to the beach and our local park for picnics so I feel we really made the most of the sunshine.
One of the things I look forward to in the Autumn term is the Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning (this year it’s on the 30th September), it’s the perfect excuse to bake a cake and catch up with some of the parents and grandparents from school over a cup of tea. If you’re going along to one (or any other coffee morning/bake sale for that matter) and you’re not sure what to make then here’s some delicious recipe inspiration for you.
Coffee Morning Recipes
Each month I run a linky for events in the calendar where other bloggers come and share their recipes, these coffee morning recipe ideas are some of my favourites that have been shared over the past year and a half (plus a few others from around the web). There’s absolutely loads of events in the calendar this September so make sure you head down the page to take a look and see what recipes have been shared this month (and if you’re a food blogger than make sure you come and join in 🙂 ).

Saw these recipes and those pictures are making my mouth water! Coffee and cake is hard to beat – especially with a decent brew and recipes as good as these. We love a good flapjack with our coffee, although those chocolate-covered ones do look a little decadent.
I wonder if we should look at matching up different varieties of coffee with these recipes – like they do with wine for different meals? The cakes probably taste great with all our coffees, but at least it would give us an excuse to try them all!
Stephen says
Thanks – I really did. Going to try your Marzipan and Cherry Cake soon as well
Stephen says
Jut made the Vegan Apple and Blackberry Scones for a party – they went down treat! There weren’t any left over for me, so I shall just have to make the again!
Thanks so much for sharing

Sounds like an excellent plan! I’m glad you found the roundup useful.

I love the Tiramisu cake (roll), we make Tiramisu quite often at home (kids love it) but I never thought of doing it as a roll before. Excellent idea, I love the presentation, thank you for sharing.

Hi Charlotte – just linking up my Chicken Chilli Con Carne for National Rice Week. Also, the chicken is British, so it fits for British Food Fortnight too 🙂 Eb x
