Flavors of Fall Afternoon Tea by Faith

Guest Chef Faith Cohick joined us in the tea room this past Sunday to present her Flavors of Fall Afternoon Tea. Assorted spices, fruits and veggies associated with fall made their appearance at this special afternoon event. Colorful fall leaves and assorted pumpkins and gourds graced the tables and shades of russet, gold, and red were front and center.


The first course featured a Fall Pasta Salad with a Vinaigrette Dressing. The beautiful colorful pile of twisted noodles reminded me of a pile of freshly fallen leaves! 

Sandwiches followed with a variety of fall flavors including Pimiento Cheese on White Bread, Fall Veggie Pinwheel on a Tomato Basil Wrap, Bacon and Egg Salad on Wheat Bread, warm Zucchini Herb Bite, Autumn Chicken Salad Croissant, and Apple Pie Tea Sandwich on Cinnamon Raising Bread. Yum!

The Scone course included a flavorful Maple Pumpkin Butterscotch Scone and a thick slice of Vanilla Pear Bread. Fresh Fruit, Spiced Applebutter, and Devonshire Cream completed the plate.

Rounding out the Afternoon Tea, the dessert trio included a petite cup filled with Creamy Caramel Dip topped with fall sprinkles and served with fresh Apple Slices, a chocolate covered Nutter Butter Truffle, and a Maple Snickerdoodle cookie.


Special thanks to Faith for her beautiful presentation, yummy interpretation of a theme, and lovely execution of this fall harvest event. Watch for additional special themed teas catered by Faith to be scheduled in the new year.

That all looks delightful! I wish I lived close enough to take part in one of the themed teas. I'll have to be content with reading about it.
