About Cafe Nouveau at Home
Cafe Nouveau at Home is an underground tearoom in Lindley, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The tearoom opens up once a month to serve afternoon tea to a maximum of eight people. The location is my home is Lindley, an original Edgar Wood house. The suggested donation for afternoon tea will range between £12 and £15 depending on the menu.
About me – Marie-Claire Micuta
I am a passionate baker and have been baking since a very early age. I recently realised that owning my own cafe would be a perfect venture for me. However, a lack of available finance meant that this dream had to be put on hold. Not one to let this put me off I decided in 2010 to start home baking and getting some experience. So I got myself a part-time job at a cafe in Denby Dale serving coffee, ice creams and cakes as well as baking and selling my scones. I then saw other underground tea rooms popping up around the country and so thought why not in Huddersfield! And Cafe Nouveau at Home was born!
My Training
I have taken the Betty’s Cookery School Certificate Course – a ten day course which covers everything from nifty knife skills to perfecting pastry – with lots more in between including some of the recipes featured in my afternoon teas. I have the level 2 award in food safety and my kitchen has been assessed and approved by Kirklees Council Environmental Health team. I have also taken the basic and advanced barrista courses run by Cooper’s Coffee in Huddersfield.

Hi there,
What a fabulous idea!!!
How do you get an invite to your tea room?
We sometimes go to an underground restaurant that’s based once a month in birkby. Always a lovely evening!
Cheers,
Sam Smith

Sounds interesting from a startup point of view. I’m in the middle of Le Cordon Bleu training and thinking of doing the same in my city of Birmingham. If you’re keeping a list, I’d love to come to one of your tea parties.
Are you doing any events in the near future? June 2012
