Rebecca Bishop

I founded a bakery cafe in Southwold, Suffolk, 10 years ago (www.twomagpiesbakery.co.uk). The bakery specialises in long fermented bread, delicious cakes and a seasonal menu. I am a self taught baker and chef. In recent years my focus has been on recipe development and teaching baking classes. I published my first book "Two Magpies Bakery" in April 2023.
