What is aromatic, tastes fantastic and is a classic…? No matter your age it’s hard to resist the temptation of freshly baked gingerbread! A reminiscence of Christmas or perfectly coupled with an afternoon tea, today @thestudio we celebrate National Gingerbread Day! (Yes such a thing does exist!)

Around the world…
Ginger looks unique and is definitely the life and soul of the party, featuring in both savoury and sweet dishes around the world! Not to mention it’s well known title as a super food used to soothe and treat colds, coughs, indigestion or even motion sickness. Is there something this little root can’t achieve?!
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favourite things…”
Here @ thestudio, I’m sure you could guess a few of our favourite things, well, one which has the most prominence: FOOD!
No matter the cuisine, thestudio are sure to honour all things delectable, from creature comforts like a heart-warming beef chilli or a sweet treat to supply a much needed sugar rush to support you on your travels home.
Talking about sugar rush, did you know tomorrow is National Taffy Day? We had it saved in our diaries so we thought why not let loose and celebrate it a day early! (more…)
In a bid to give our stomachs a well-deserved rest, today @ thestudio we are celebrating great poetry! It makes a drastic change from celebrating National Food Days (not to worry, we will continue to supply you with treats). So keep your eyes peeled for some amazing poems dotted around the venue, including both classics and staff favourites!

So..
Don’t have a bee in your bonnet,
Read an interesting sonnet,
Or whimsical prose a great poet renders,
Of undying love and immeasurable splendours,
From Edgar Allen Poe to William Shakespeare,
We welcome you, on this day we adhere!

If you love bread and you love bananas, well, that makes today your lucky day as it’s Banana Bread Day!
Come join thestudio team for a freshly baked banana bread muffin.
In the 1930’s, banana bread rose to fame with the introduction of popular cooking products baking soda and baking powder. They fast became a familiar feature in American cook books and were even more renowned during the Great Depression. Banana bread signified the ingenuity of American housewives (who were not as lucky as those in Desperate Housewives), limiting waste in the unfortunate economic climate.
Today there are an abundance of recipes ensuring satisfaction for even the most unique of pallets! From using peanut butter to mango you can invent your own banana bread bonanza.
tweet your creations @studiovenues #bananabreadday
Well-wishing’s for the Chinese New Year…

Alternatively known as the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year is packed full of cultural fun, from lion dancers to show stopping fireworks, the Chinese definitely know how to greet a year in style.
Money, money, money…
This auspicious occasion summons the cost-omary tradition to dish out doe in red envelopes, typically given as gifts by elders to the younger generations (lucky so and so’s). (more…)
