Happy Kitchen Brownies

Image of Happy Kitchen Brownies We all know that it is alright to have a naughty treat once in a while, personally anything involving chocolate hits my treat sweet spot, but what if you could have a treat that is healthy, but still tastes naughty? Here at The Amazing Blog, we recently found out about Happy Kitchen, a bakery and canteen in London offering up healthy and delicious dessert. When we heard about their famous Brownies, we had to get our hands on them.

Happy Kitchen was started by two best friends who shared the same love for baking, and wanted everyone to benefit from their love of food, thus Happy Kitchen was born. They make healthy and eco friendly foods which they sell both through their bakery, and through various stockist. We opted to try their Brownies, and we were not at all disappointed. The brownies are individually packaged and come in four delicious flavours: plain chocolate, pecan, raspberry, and orange. The best part is: they only contain seven ingredients! They are vegan, gluten-free, and sweetened with fruit instead of refined sugar. Oh, not to mention that they are absolutely scrumptious, moist and packed full of flavour. The best part is they are good for you! It has certainly made us feel a lot less guilty about our afternoon snacking.

If you are interested in trying out these tasty Brownies yourself then visit the Happy Kitchen website, Brownies retail at £1.49 each. There, you can also learn more about the other delicious desserts that the baking duo sell in their shop as well as how to get to their bakery/canteen.

Afternoon Tea at the Kensington Palace Orangery Restaurant

The_Orangery_large_2 Here at The Amazing Blog we are big fans of tea, in fact we have at least eight varieties on the go in the office! But sometimes a mid afternoon tea break just doesn’t cut it, we want to be treated like royalty... Luckily we have found an idyllic spot to spend our bank holiday weekend, basking in the sunshine at the Kensington Palace Orangery Restaurant. Here you can relax and enjoy the splendid scenery, all whilst indulging in a wonderful afternoon teathat is fit for a Queen.

You can dine in Queen Anne’s 18th Century Orangery in the Kensington Palace Gardens, which we think is a perfect bank holiday treat for any tea and cake lover. The afternoon tea looks delicious, there is a range of sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and pastries served as well as a selection of over ten different teas.  Afterwards  you can take a stroll through the enchanting gardens of the palace as well as see the historic King’s and Queen’s State Apartments.
