Plate Expectations: Lemon oat and coconut biscuits for Jewish Care’s Bake Day!
For this year's bake day, our in-house chef cooks up some delicious biscuits to mark Jewish Care's annual fundraising campaign
This week’s recipe is in association with Jewish Care’s Great Jewish Bake Day, which is helping to raise much-needed funds to keep the charity’s buses on the road.
Jewish Care buses take older, isolated people in the community and those with dementia to community centres, so they can enjoy a day of entertaining activities, have a cooked meal and socialise.
