I always love seeing what will be on the cover of the new issue of Tea Time magazine, and this time, the pattern was one that's quite familiar, this rich blue-and-gold-toned Heirloom pattern from Royal Albert.
This pattern is featured (third from top) on the cover of my book Teatime Tales.
I guess everyone sees "fall" when we see this Heirloom china, because I served a yummy fall-ish carrot soup in mine. (The recipe is here.) I don't know about you, but I do my best cooking and baking in the fall. When the weather turns cooler, I love to spend time trying out new recipes, and this new Tea Time has some great ones, from a curried egg salad that I would *not* reserve just for teatime to a chocolate-drizzled peanut butter shortbread whose photo made me want to lick it right off the page. This issue definitely has me drooling ahead to fall. Are you a fall baker too?
I din't bake much these days but that chocolate/peanut butter shortbread sounds like it would be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks so yummy in that teacup. I normally don't do a lot of fall baking, but I have 60 Madeleine, and 60 scones in my freezer. They were intended for a bridal shower this weekend. Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey is on it's way, all plans cancelled as we hunker down and wait for the wind and rain. Wait, this may be the perfect weekend to bake! (As long as we have power.)
ReplyDeleteYes, Angela, I'm with you on fall baking! When the weather starts to turn cooler, I start to think about what goodies I can bake. I've already been looking through
ReplyDeletethat new issue of Tea Time magazine for ideas...

Maybe it is time soon to link how to be able for your new readers to buy your wonderful books, Angela - for Christmas presents and such.
ReplyDeleteThey're so great!
Love this teacup pattern. It was a great magazine this month, wasn't it?
Now that I'm living near the grandLittles, I may bake for them this fall. A wee tea party may be in order on a crisp afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI do more sweet baking in the cool months. I think because of all the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a fall baker. Then I already have my baking list made for Christmas and thinking about fall too. That is such a gorgeous tea pattern too.
