📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The Bakewell tart is named after the town of Bakewell in Derbyshire. The pairing of jam and almond cream is said to come from the 19th-century Bakewell pudding. Some are topped with flaked almonds, others with white icing and a cherry.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a village tearoom in the Peak District, a Bakewell tart and a pot of tea arrive at the window seat as hikers take a break.
