Phil recently attended The Bakers and Dessert event held by London Kitchen Social at our showroom in London, here he baked up a variety of savoury products amongst over bakers. One of those being his Savoury Spirals, he allowed us to share our recipe in an article for other bakers or aspiring bakers to perfect and enjoy.
