I just came across this post from a new source called How To High Tea at http://www.howtohightea.com
I can tell you that the French take food seriously. Rather it’s breakfast or a quick snack. Nothing is left to chance there. Even high tea is planned out to the detail. I will share below what I mean.
THE INVITATIONS: Elegance is the inspiration. Regardless of the color scheme. It has got to be elegant.
SETTING THE SCENE: The colors of your room should be constant with the invitations. A beautiful table clothe with candles and flower arrangements.
PLACE SETTINGS: This starts with place cards. This way everyone knows where to set. Getting rid of the ‘where do I set’ question. Plate set. Your Tuesday night set is okay, but this is a fancy event and should be treated as such.
FOOD; SAVORY: The thing that caught my eye was the quiche. Why? They would be easy to make. And they are versatile. Let’s talk cheese. Brie cheese is a soft cheese that has bit of a nutty flavor to it. Blue cheese is every where. My preferred is a Gorgonzola from Italy. It’s more mellow that Stilton blue from England. Then a cheddar. I love a white cheddar.
FOOD; SWEET: OMG! You have a long list to choose from. There are three with chocolate. Of course, there are the expected Macaroons, French Cookies, and Creme Brulee.
TEA: Now we come to the thing that can make or break your tea; the tea. There’s a variety recommended in the article. Two stood out to me: caramel and creme brulee.
As the article goes on there are nice checklists to use as guides to throw the most beautiful French Style High Tea.
