Easter Tea Delights


Pea Sandwich (sorry picture is a bit blurry)

Radish and Goat Cheese Sandwich

Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries and Pavlova Orange Flavored with Milk Chocolate

Spring Salad

Carrot Purses with Shrimp

Child's plate

Mushroom Quiche

Sausage Rolls

My challenge this year was feeding a young child with allergies
to wheat, eggs, dairy, almonds, and peanuts.
As you all know, afternoon tea involves alot of wheat, eggs, and dairy.
On the child's plate I made a rice flour pastry to wrap around the sausage,
a radish mouse instead of the sandwich, and gluten free bread for the pea sandwich.
I love a challenge; so this was quite fun to figure out.

We also enjoyed fresh scones from the oven with Devonshire Cream and a final
jar of Marmalady's Triple Sec Orange Marmalade.
Ending the tea was marionberry sorbet served in egg cups.
The two teas served were Tiekuanyin Oolong from Taiwan and Tulsi, a herbal tisane.

So there you have it my Easter Tea for 2012.
