The story

Twelve Triangles Edinburgh: An Award Winning Artisan Bakery

The founders and their philosophy

Twelve Triangles in Edinburgh operates as an artisan bakery where founders Rachel Morgan and Emily Cuddeford launched their first shop in 2015. What began as a seven days a week operation in a single Stockbridge location has expanded to employ over eighty bakers across the region. Their approach centers on sourcing seasonal ingredients from independent producers and returning value to the local food network. This grounded ethos earned them recognition as a Local Gem in the 2026 Good Food Guide.

Signature breads and pastries

The kitchen produces slowly fermented sourdough loaves alongside carefully crafted viennoiserie. Morning visitors typically select buttery croissants, pain au chocolat, and freshly baked cheese scones. The lunch service shifts toward hearty sausage rolls and substantial sandwiches that pair well with their carefully brewed coffee. Recent menu additions like an olive oil and sweet potato bun studded with walnuts and panela sugar demonstrate how this bread and pastry workshop adapts traditional formats to seasonal harvests.

Fermentation techniques and the new cookbook

Every recipe in their recently published guide Kitchen Table reflects a commitment to controlled fermentation and ingredient integrity. The book divides its contents into chapters dedicated to staples like olive oil, chocolate, nuts, and dairy. Readers can follow detailed processes for making kimchi, cultured cream, and doughs that require minimal active dried yeast instead of traditional starters. Savoury sections feature whey brined roast chicken and a robust beef pie, while sweet pages outline a hazelnut and sourdough frangipane tart designed to utilize leftover breadcrumbs.
