Our Menu of English Tea Time Treats
is inspired by the upstairs-downstairs period drama Downton Abbey. In the highly ritualized household of the Earl and Countess of Grantham, tea time is not just for banter: it is the most serious of affairs. Over tea, alliances are forged and the fate of the family fortune is contemplated and plotted. We can’t all have a Mrs. Patmore presiding over our kitchen, but we can afford to recreate a piece of the Downton experience with some our favorite recipes. We think even the Dowager Countess would heartily approve!
