(Recipe for Cattern Cakes (Old Somerset for Catharine?) – see end of article.

Sunday 5^th December was Frome’s last Artisan Market of the year. The Market is held on Catharine Hill – a lovely old cobbled street, and is usually very lively with lots of attractive stalls selling local crafts and food. Last Sunday was no exception.

Members of Food Frome sold Cattern/ St Catharine’s Cakes. We chose not to have a  stall but sold instead from baskets. It was very successful.
