‘Artist-bakers: meet the art grads who swapped paintbrushes for pastry’ Telegraph, February 2016

‘Twelve Triangles has really upped the ante in Scotland.’ Glasgow Times, April 2016

“The olive oil cake with chocolate ganache from Twelve Triangles makes me emotional every time I eat it because it’s so beautiful. This book is worth buying for that recipe alone!” Jessica Elliot Dennison, owner of Elliott’s Cafe in Edinburgh and author of Lazy Baking and Salad Feasts

“It was a privilege to work closely with Rachel and Emily in the Twelve Triangles bakery and see The love and care that goes into their food is just incredible and to be able to have access to all of these recipes is very special.” Roberta Hall-McCarron, chef and owner of The Little Chartroom and Eleanore, and BBC Great British Menu Winner

“The bakery has something of a cult following thanks to their unique sourdough breads and pastries, which are cold-proved and slow fermented on a cycle of three to four days. The bakers champion the use of local suppliers.” The Times

Rachel Morgan and Emily Cuddeford fell in love with cooking and baking early in life and both ended up leaving their burgeoning arts careers to work with food. Rachel started her career in food as a side step from work in costume design – whilst working in theatre, she always had side jobs in cafes and cooking to supplement her income. She soon realised that she was enjoying the food work more than the theatre work and took the decision to formally train at Edinburgh New Town Cookery School.

With no formal cooking experience, Emily got through to the TV rounds of Masterchef when she was 18, but quickly learned that service kitchens were not for her. However, she loved baking and working on food behind the scenes. Whilst at University in Brighton, Emily’s dream bakery opened in Edinburgh, and this is where she met Rachel. When they advertised for a role, she immediately applied and moved back to Edinburgh; together, they created Twelve Triangles.
