1. Order It

A Stateside campfire staple, the s’more takes its name from ‘some more’. Which says it all really. A biscuit sandwich filled with toasted marshmallow and just-starting-to-melt chocolate, the variations are endless: topped or chipped biscuits, flavoured chocolates, a sneaky swipe of Nutella. . . Someone who’s perfected the process is Asher-Marie Cater, founder of new Cambridge brand Cosy Camp S’mores. Her at-home kits – complete with non-toxic smokeless burner which can be used indoors or outdoors – are fun to use, delicious to eat and can be ordered for direct delivery.

2. Book It

Beach holiday been cancelled? You can take a trip to Mexico without leaving home turf this month thanks to Hannah Gregory – Suffolk MasterChef contestant and Velvet food columnist – whose WanderSups supper club is popping up at Cambridge Cookery on June 12. The menu (welcome cocktail/mocktail, three courses, tasty little extras) is inspired by the cuisine of the Yucatan peninsula, so expect plenty of colour, flavour and carnival vibes. Tickets, priced £55 each, are selling like Hannah’s signature tacos – FYI Gregg Wallace described her food as “nothing short of genius” – but if you miss out, she’s back at Cambridge Cookery in July, too.

3. Diary It

After 2020’s event was inevitably cancelled by Covid, Newmarket Food & Drink Festival is back for 2021 – with live demos from celebrity chefs, a showcase of cuisine and produce from across East Anglia and an historic new venue, the famed Jockey Club Rooms. Tristan Welch, of Saturday Kitchen and Cambridge’s Parker’s Tavern, and Rosemary Shrager, of Soapstar Superchef and Ladette to Lady, will be topping the bill at the in-the-flesh event, running September 11 to 12. In addition, organisers plan to host more than 60 artisan producers from across the region, along with a selection of bars, live music and family entertainment.

4. Visit It

By the time you read this, The Orator – the new bar and brasserie housed in Cambridge Union’s £3.4 million redevelopment – will have opened its doors. In honour of the Union which, founded in 1815, is the oldest debating society in the world, the all-day menu, running from breakfast and brunch through lunch to drinks and cocktails, takes a debating theme, naming dishes and drinks after the famous faces who’ve spoken in the chamber (and now hang on the venue’s walls).
