Toast & Thyme

| the first of many |

happy new year you gorgeous bunch

I may have been away, but it’s time to come back & fully open my order book from 1st February (very limited slots available throughout January)

although I may have been silent, I’ve still been working behind the scenes, with one of the highlights being participating in this incredible photoshoot organised by where the incredible Helena Curtis captured this snap 📸

I shall be forever grateful for this image and I can’t wait to continue creating throughout 2022 for you all

but for now, thank you for all your support throughout this year & I wish you all the best for this upcoming year 🤍

⁣happy saturday you gorgeous bunch!
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| happy saturday |

this cheese combo (stilton, manchego & brie) has to be up there as one of my FAVES

with such a variety of flavours and textures, it just gives you a bit of ALL the good stuff

name me your top three cheeses .... 🧀
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| crack-er me up |

a little throwback as I’ve realised I never posted this beauty!
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| peas by mine?! |

⁣what a perfect addition to those summer garden parties ... when we finally get some ☀️
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| I cherry-ish you |

⁣I just wanted to share a little appreciation post to say thank you to each and everyone of you

all the likes, shares, mentions and without saying, the orders mean the ABSOLUTE world to me & this journey I’m on wouldn’t be possible without you all

especially the news I received late last week most definitely wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for you all getting the name out there

so THANK YOU & I’m BEYOND excited to share this with you all really soon 👏🏽
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| does anyone know what day of the week it is?! |

well you will be pleased to know, it’s Friday tomorrow 👏🏽

my evening shall be spent prepping for an up coming manic Saturday as it’s looking like we are all in full swing of celebrations and I’m loving it!

have you secured yours as my availability is rapidly disappearing?!

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| I’m SO fondue of you |

this is exactly how I feel about FRIDAYS in general but even more so about today🥂

a bank holiday plus annual leave from my full time job on top of a REALLY exciting meeting about tomorrow

this weekend is looking like it’s going to be a good one!

hope you gorgeous people are living your best lives this weekend 🤍
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| FULL TO THE BRIM |

🧀🍓🫒

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| people who love to eat are the best people |

surely we all agree with the above

I mean you probably wouldn’t be following if you didn’t LOVE food right?!

this was one of the few creations I produced last weekend, it was for a gorgeous group of friends to enjoy after having been separated for SO long
⁣⁣⁣⁣

| wednesday - it’s almost, sort of, kind of, close to, just about nearly the weekend |

double brie, hot ‘n’ spicy & manchego - not a bad combo I’d say 👏🏽
⁣⁣⁣⁣

| 𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 don’t count on the 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 |

sorry for being quiet over the weekend, I decided to limit my orders and take some time out

I also totally lived by the above as I finally got to spend time with loved ones and kick of my wedding plans by asking my bridal party 💍

I hope you all lived your best lives and were finally reunited with friends/family
⁣⁣⁣⁣

| wine & cheese - ageless companions |

simply add a glass (or bottle!) of your favourite wine and you really couldn’t ask for a better dinner 🥂
⁣⁣⁣⁣

| today is a GOOD day ☀️|

𝙿𝙻𝙴𝙰𝚂𝙴 tell me you’ve all been on the high I have been today ....

how good does it feel that we can 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚

• workout somewhere other than our living rooms
• socialise & celebrate outside of our gardens with food we haven’t cooked and drinks we haven’t poured
• touch and buy clothes that we haven’t scrolled for hours trying to find
• and most importantly get rid of those lockdown roots and chipped finger nails

April 12th - you beauty of a day 👏🏽
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| 𝓓id you 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛 the 𝕘𝕠𝕠𝕕 news?! |

it’s 𝙵𝚁𝙸𝙳𝙰𝚈!!

Anyone else feel as though we can finally start getting excited for the weekends and not feel like it’s a continuation of the week??

Hoping you beautiful people have some plans for the weekend involving cheese & wine!

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| slice, slice baby |

⁣whose liking the look of this manchego?!

let me know if it’s a keeper or never to be done again ....

🤷🏽‍♀️
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| is a weekend without cheese even worth mentioning |

this beauty of a graze box went out a few weeks back & they are definitely proving popular throughout the week

they also stop that dreaded question that we all continue to ask throughout lockdown ....

what’s for dinner?!? ⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| whatever will brie will brie |

I wonder if I will ever be bored of brie?!

& my prediction is ....

probably not as I love the different dimension it bring to the platters that no other cheese can bring

although I’m also loving manchego sliced and laid alternate ways as well

let’s just face it .... I LOVE CHEESE

🧀

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| things will get feta |

our last weekend of a full lockdown hopefully EVER has been ticked off 👏🏽

we’ve done it and I’m hoping all you gorgeous people have plenty of garden parties booked in

just don’t forget I can create grazing platters or tables no matter how big or small

but ....

my summer is already pretty busy so feel free to book in any dates with me
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| simp-brie the best |

throwing it back to last weekend with this platter for four which went out to a lovely family virtually celebrating their daughter’s baby shower

included was all the brie you could wish for with a side of hot ‘n’ spicy & manchego plus plenty of antipasti produce

yummy right?!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| the details are not the details, they make the design |

how true is that statement?!

from the cut comb honey to cured meat roses to star cut grapefruit finishing with dark chocolate dipped orange segments and vine tomatoes

they are all tiny details in comparison to the size of the table but without them and plenty of others, the design wouldn’t have been complete

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| 𝓂𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝕚𝕥 ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴ |

last night I took a massive leap into the direction I’ve wanted to take Toast & Thyme from the day I started in September and it was everything I dreamt of!

I was also beyond excited that my customer had selected a cake from as her beautiful design works effortlessly with the graze

here’s to hopefully creating plenty more of these throughout the spring and summer and years to come 🥂

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| olive me loves olive you |

give me a marble or wooden board any day and it will always win me over

there’s just something about the way they work with the produce

⁣who’s with me?!
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| the big cheesy |

⁣the weekend wasn’t all about the tea and cake, the cheese and charcuterie platters were flying out too

hot ‘n’ spicy, camembert, manchego & stilton were the main features on this platter and I was even told there were left overs

plus the feedback I received went a little something like ...

“thank you for our amazing graze box. It was fabulous, great value for money & truly delicious”
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐼 𝒶𝓂 𝒾𝓈 𝒷𝑒𝒸𝒶𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊 |

well that was one weekend I shall never ꫀꪜꫀ𝕣 forget, I thought valentines was busy but 𝐖𝐎𝐖 I was wrong

thank you all sooo much for your orders, shares, feedback and just overall support - my opening quote on this post is 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 how I feel right now

I’m also so excited to see what the future has in store for Toast & Thyme

🤍

| let’s spice it up |

⁣camembert, hot ‘n’ spicy & manchego - soft & gooey, spicy & crunchy & finally a perfect blend of savoury & sweetness

a little bit of all the good stuff I’d say

🙌🏽⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| it’s about 𝓉𝒽𝓎𝓂𝑒 you realise you’re 𝕗𝕚𝕘𝕘𝕚𝕟’ amazing |

with 93% of you gorgeous followers being female and as a business run on solely girl power (with a male delivery driver chucked into the mix every so often) it only seemed right to mark international women’s day with a 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓈𝓎 post!

𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊 to each & every one of you for your support and raising me up to let me be in the position I am today!

this little business wouldn’t be possible without you 𝓪𝓵𝓵!

here’s to 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕘 women 🥂

this bespoke savoury platter was created yesterday and not only is there a vast variety of flavours, it also takes you on a tour of the best european countries

🇫🇷brie and port salut
🇪🇸machego
🇵🇹chorizo
🇮🇹salami

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m longing for those warm summer nights, where I can enjoy a glass of vino, graze on all the cheeses and watch the sun go down

🥂
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| we are so much better to cheddar |

stilton, double gloucester and brie plus an added extra of cheddar cheese 🧀

I’ve had quite a few requests for cheddar to be included recently and I’m totally here for it, it might be plain, it might be a staple in your fridge but you just can’t fault it

on crackers, melted on toast, on pizzas, in salads, the options are endless and I feel it just needs a little more appreciation & love 🙌🏽

| weekend loading |

happy friday you beautiful bunch

this beauty was created a couple of weeks back and I’m totally loving the height of the manchego

not only does it add another dimension, it gives me all that extra space to include extra produce

can’t complain about that can we 🙌🏽

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| I camembert to be without you |

a snapshot of one of the individual grazing boxes I created last weekend for a gorgeous bunch of ladies who organised a virtual gathering as they couldn’t be together to celebrate a special occasion

but the uses for these doesn’t stop there, they are perfect for treating those loved ones you miss or they are ideal for all those picnics and garden gatherings we will be hosting until April 🙌🏽

| slice, slice baby |

brie, camembert and manchego could be seen as all fairly plain cheeses but pair any of them with the sweet chilli crackers and honey and those taste buds will be tingling

or is that still not enough flavour for you?!

swap the honey for the onion relish and add in some chorizo, that’s sure to hit the spot 👌🏽

| insert ☕️ to begin |

all you need is the coffee beans brewing, the fizz bubbling and a warm duvet to snuggle under and the rest is all taken care off

with a variety of fresh pastries, waffles, bagels, granola, smoked salmon, avocado, cured meats and plenty of fresh fruit all delivered to your doorstep

name me a better way to kick start your day!?!

happy pancake day you lovely lot 🥞

I had to seize the opportunity to make a pancake grazing platter because when your other half despises cheese (ᴡʜᴏ ɪꜱ ʜᴇ!), it means I actually never get to enjoy a grazing platter 😩

so as he has 𝐓𝐇𝐄 biggest sweet tooth, this was the perfect opportunity to bring a 𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒋𝒆𝒆 dinner to the table 🍫
⁣
question is whose side is whose 🤷🏽‍♀️⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| I have stiltons of love for you |

and that’s a wrap 🤍

I must confess I shall be just a tad happy to not see a brie heart for a while but definitely considering having them as a feature on date night platters because who said you can only be romantic on valentines day

enjoy the rest of the weekend you beautiful people and for those of you who need to hear it, remember you are all loved by someone 🤍

happy valentines you gorgeous bunch

i’m over and out for the rest of the day but back with a bang tomorrow

luxury breakfasts and even more queen of hearts going out this Great Leighs door

but before that, thank you so much for all your love and support

enjoy your weekends and less cheesy posts will resume next week 🤍

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

| you feta brie-lieve it |

a grazing box still gives you all the cheeses so you never feel like you are missing out

brie, roquefort, manchego & camembert were the choices for this box but let’s change them up if they aren’t for you

the possibilities are endless 🙌🏽⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
