Fun Food History

Downton Abbey Has Gone Bananas

downtonabbeycooks · April 24, 2012 ·

I love talking tea parties as I thoroughly enjoy taking creative license to mix and match topics. It is like serving tea on mismatched teacups to your guests along with a lovely stacked tea tray of wee sandwiches, sweets and savoury treats. No one seems to mind, and everyone … [Read more...] about Downton Abbey Has Gone Bananas

We can see from the dining scenes on Downton … [Read more...] about Entertaining was Serious Business At Downton Abbey

downtonabbeycooks · February 9, 2012 ·

It's that time of year when we all see red: Valentine's Day, the one day of the year formally set aside to celebrate love.

Afternoon Tea Basics and Rock Cakes

downtonabbeycooks · January 31, 2012 ·

For many of us, there a few indulgent pastimes which live large in time strapped imaginations.  The English tradition of gathering for tea, cucumber sandwiches, and sweet scones is right up there on our bucket list, along spa day with the girls.  But what do most us non Brits … [Read more...] about Afternoon Tea Basics and Rock Cakes
