Molly Coddle's Kitchen

Welcome to Poundfield Cottage home to Molly Coddle's Kitchen. This is where you will find Rebecca, the creator of all things 'Molly'.

Rebecca tends to split her time & personality between discreetly evolving into a 1950's domestic goddess & surfing the Internet. Living on home-cooked dinners & recommended paperbacks, she has managed to live two separate lives without falling apart. A true city child at heart with an innate ability to find her way home on the London underground; she now finds peace & comfort living a quiet life in the Berkshire countryside.

Unable to find fulfilment from all of the above she has taken to creating beautiful & unique baby & toddler gifts in the kitchen of Poundfield Cottage where she lives with her Dutch husband. All the goodies are 'baked' to order once you have chosen from the unique (and ever expanding) range Molly Coddle's has to offer. They are then delightfully finished by hand to your own unique specifications.

Molly Coddle's gifts are far more personal than flowers or chocolates; although you can't share them over a nice cup of tea, we're certain they will be very well received! http://mollycoddleskitchen.co.uk
