Annette Gibbons Border TV chef Annette Gibbons is passionate about Cumbrian produce and organic food. She first approached the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop several years ago when she wanted ‘crumbs’ for a recipe in a cookery demonstration. Joanne was then invited to appear in an episode of her TV cookery programme ‘Homegrown’ where she concocted a delicious Rhubarb & Grasmere Gingerbread Cheesecake. “Since then we have developed a great rapport and Annette is a terrific supporter of our product and Cumbrian food in general,” says Joanne. “She even introduced Prince Andrew to Grasmere Gingerbread and he wrote to say how much he had enjoyed it,” she adds.  In 2006 Annette was voted Cumbria Woman of the Year - an annual event which the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop has co-sponsored for the last three years. Annette receives her Cumbria Woman of the Year Crystal bowl.   On Annette’s celebrated ‘Cumbria on a Plate’ culinary tours, she brings visitors to the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop which in turn supports her charity work throughout the region.  Annette and Joanne at the ceremony in November 2006.
