英國倫敦:近三百年的糕點店 Nearly Three-hundred year old bakery

Nearly Three-hundred Year Old Original Maids of Honour Bakery and Restaurant

 

Recently, I visited the world renowned Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. However, my true reason for my visit wasn't just to explore world's largest collection of living plants.

Located adjacent from Kew Gardens is the nearly three-hundred year old Original Maids of Honour bakery and restaurant.

This historical establishment is named after cakes which Henry VIII, King of England, believed to be so special he demanded the recipe for himself. He later kept this secret tart recipe in a locked iron box at Richmond Palace. But, as the century's passed this unique recipe gradually became available to the public in the late 1700's.

在倫敦一定要去世界上種植最多種類植物之一的皇家植物園.

佔地非常廣大.可以逛上一整天.身為糕點迷的我,吸引我的是植物園對面近三百年的糕點店, Original Maids of Honor bakery. 名字的由來是一位服侍16世紀英國國王亨利八世的女士,替國王做了Maid of Honour蛋糕.

因為國王太喜歡這份點心竟要求將這份食譜收藏起來,而且這項糕點只能做給皇室的人享用.直到18世紀這秘密食譜才被他人知道傳給這家糕餅.在西元1千八百多年開始販售到現在
