This morning was our first of two Christmas cookery classes. This time we made bread. The children had such a lovely time kneading the bread, waiting for it to rise and shaping them. We had a variety of shapes from mini bread rolls to a bread plait! Looking forward to the next one on Thursday when we are making cupcakes... #health #healthy #healthyeating #natural #sweet #naturallysweet #naturallysweetoxford #food #refinedsugarfree #yum #oxford #oxfordshire #caterer #healthylunch #healthylunchoxford #oxfordfood #nutrition #nutritious #oxfordhorspath #horspath #horspathoxford #wheately #wheatleyoxford #oxfordwheatley #cowley #oxfordcowley #cowleyoxford #eastoxfordmarket #eastoxford #talkingshop #sanfordonthames #sanfordtalkingshop #popupcafe #cafeoxford #popupcafeoxford #eatingout #thingstodoinoxford #cookeryclasses #cookeryclassesoxford #childrenscookery #childrenscookeryoxford #childrenscookeryhorspath #childrenscookerycowley

We began our pop up breakfast cafe's in September in order to gain some experience. We have enjoyed them so much, we have continued to do them on a fortnightly basis. It has been so amazing to see people come back time and time again to have our food and enjoy the atmosphere we create. We have loved creating menus each week as we have so many ideas. It has been challenging for us to cook, prepare and serve dishes in vast amounts at one time- but an experience we have learnt from and enjoyed so much. We are looking forward to see what the new year brings! #naturallysweetoxford #oxford #cafe #oxfordcafe #healthyeatingoxford #healthyeatinghorspath #healthyeatingwheatley #healthyeatingcowley #healthyeatinggarsington #healthycafeoxford #lunchdeliveriesoxford #lunchdeliverieswheatley #lunchdeliveriesgarsington #lunchdeliveriesheadington #lunchdeliveriescowley #lunchdeliveriesjohnradcliffe #oxfordcaterer #vegetarianfoodoxford #vegetarianfoodwheatley #vegetarianfoodhorspath #

To gain some experience in catering for larger groups of people and test out our recipes/ideas/menus on others, we have been hosting a fortnightly pop up cafe in our local village hall. At the start it was quite quiet but has become more and more popular and we are loving the buzz and excitement from when people come to the cafe. Our menu is very small (never more than three options). Some examples of our dishes include homemade coconut granola with natural yoghurt topped with fresh mango and pineapple with a drizzle of honey. We have another one this weekend and can't wait!!

Coming up with a name for the business was more difficult that we thought. Being in a partnership meant that we both had to agree on the same name. I would be thinking about names in the middle of the night and writing them in the notes on my phone. However, as well as asking for feedback from Jo (my business partner), I was also asking friends and family- which was probably a bad idea. Once it was getting more and more difficult, Jo and I decided not to tell anyone our name ideas. We then came up with Naturally Sweet, which we both liked as we love the idea of using natural food, mostly plant-based for our dishes. I also make sweet treats such as cakes, energy balls and bars which are refined sugar free. You can also get a lot of fruit and veg that is naturally sweet and we loved to use in most of our food! Adding on the Oxford was something extra that would make our name unique as we are both from Oxford and think it is a wonderful place. Finally, Naturally Sweet Oxford was
