Curiosity & the Cupcake is the name of the bookstore/bakery I would run if I wasn't so busy saving the world's archaeological heritage, helping to fix the UK's healthcare or getting overly excited about food policy.
It came about as C & I were wandering back from the St Lawrence Market in Toronto via the lovely Nicholas Hoare bookshop while discussing our plans for the Italian espresso bar we'll have in our office (one day) and bemoaning the lack of a bakery in our neighborhood.
C&C would be about lovingly chosen books and a small, bespoke and ever-changing selection of baked deliciousness. We would have space for artists to hang their work, and cosy chairs where you could read and enjoy a proper (one size only) cappuccino or where you'd meet your friends (maybe we'd start a cookbook club?) for a snack.
It would never make a profit and it would be filled with love.
Instead I have this blog. Which will also never make a profit and be filled with love.

Leah, I think we should open a sweet bookshop together. The place you described is like something I've always dreamt about.
All my love xx
