An Invitation to Tea!
 |
NB: December 2013 will be my final month as host. It's been a brilliant couple of years and I've loved all the wonderful recipes and entries - thank you for entering month after month. It's been a joy to co-host with Karen, a fantastic blogger, chef and friend. General life commitments have meant I regrettably need to cut back on my Tea Time Treat role. See you all for my final hosting in December
Welcome to Tea Time Treats, a monthly blogging and baking event that is hosted by Karen from Lavender and Lovage and little old me on alternate months.
This monthly challenge covers one of our most delightful and eternally popular British institutions, Tea Time! Not just cakes and scones either, but pies and more filling supper dishes come under this culinary umbrella, from afternoon teas of delicate and elegant bakes to the more rustic and filling pleasures of high tea and farmhouse suppers.
All teatime treats, whether sweet or savoury, breads, scones, sandwiches, pies, pasties, cakes, tarts, desserts, conserves or biscuits (plus many, many more!) will be featured over the coming months.
Each monthly challenge will suggest and involve a certain style of bake or popular teatime ingredient. We'll be following the seasons with an eye on many popular feasts and festivals throughout the year.
