Viral Edinburgh bakery sees huge queues once again during book launch
Edinburgh baking enthusiasts were lined up outside a popular city spot once again on Thursday morning.
Midweek Recipes, written by Edinburgh chef Jess Elliot Dennison, was being launched at Lannan in Stockbridge with special treats on offer.
An image from outside the shop shows residents lined up as they wait to get their hands on the new book, and some baked goods. Taking to Instagram, Lannan Bakery said: "Midweek Recipes - book launch pop-up at Lannan.

"Signed copies, bakes from the book, Elliot's jams, preserves and kitchenware."
On July 29, 2023, Darcie Maher officially opened Lannan on Hamilton Place and the bakery was an instant hit with locals who were pictured in huge queues from the crack of dawn.
Just weeks after opening, we reported how some customers flocked to the bakery and stood waiting outside for 'up to an hour' to get their hands on expertly-crafted pastries. Last summer, owners had to introduce new rules to cope with the massive demand.

Sharing an update on Instagram Darcie posted: "Summer is here and Lannan is busier than ever - viennoiserie is selling out by 10am and the queue is starting earlier each day. So starting from Thursday, in line with feedback from our staff and customers, we’re putting a limit of two of each pastry per customer. This is something I’ve tried to avoid since we opened, but it’s now a necessary step to ensure as many of you as possible are able to try our pastries.
"We advise you arrive between 7.30-9 to purchase viennoiserie. Cakes and custard slice come out around 9/9.30, sandwiches and pala romana come out around 11/11.30."
