Hej!
Welcome to Kvarn Bakehouse, a micro bakery in Crantock, on the North coast of Cornwall specialising in organic sourdough breads and authentic Swedish bakes.
I'm Amelie, mother of two and sustainability professional turned baker only last year. Driven by the desire to have more time with my children, less stress and more connection with my local community, Kvarn has enabled me to also delve into my passion for baking and remain connected to my Swedish origins. During weekdays, my home kitchen becomes an artisanal bakery. Customers pre-order via this website and collect their bakes on specific bake-dates. It's working, and I'm so grateful to all of you who have discovered my bakes and supported me so far.
I hope I’ll have the chance to treat you, your family, friends or colleagues to my bakes — whether it’s a loaf of sourdough or one of the Swedish classics: cinnamon or cardamom buns, wreaths, or braids. If you'd like to explore collaborations, private events and baking experiences, please drop me a note via amelie@kvarnbakehouse.co.uk
Thank you for stopping by.
Amelie
UPCOMING BAKES
Lately I have been experimenting with more signage and the grab-a-loaf-on-the-go approach and it has meant more of you have discovered my bakes which is great! However, if you want to be sure to have a sourdough, I recommend pre-ordering below. On Tuesdays you can find a small batch of Kvarn loaves at Sprout Health Foods in Newquay and if you're dining at The Pheasant in St. Newlyn East you'll now find my bread on the menu.
“MY MISSION IS TO OFFER REAL SOURDOUGH BREAD AND AUTHENTIC SCANDINAVIAN BAKES"
Baking sourdough breads isn't just a passion of mine. It's a craft, it fosters connection between people and the land, celebrates tradition, and supports a healthier food culture.
I believe that breaking bread together can be a small but powerful act of community.
ONE YEAR OF KVARN
WHAT'S THE STORY?
Last year I left the comfort of my old job to embark on a new chapter for myself and my family. One which meant less stress, more time with my children while giving in to a lifelong passion for baking.
Baking Swedish bakes has also become a way for me to remain connected to my Swedish heritage while living in Cornwall. 'Kvarn' means 'mill' in Swedish and is a nod to my origins. For me, Kvarn also evokes the importance of real bread, milled and baked like it used to. My passion for real sourdough bread has been going for over ten years now and I can talk sourdough all day long if you let me...
