The Perfect Afternoon Tea

Location: The Cooking School (upstairs from Farley), Building 602

Time11:00 am – 2:00 pm

The storied tradition of afternoon tea is said to have begun in 1840 in England when the seventh Duchess of Bedford found herself peckish around 4pm. Dinner was served fashionably late at 8pm, so she began to order tea with bread, butter and cake to her room. Soon enough, she began to invite her friends to enjoy it with her. We will start a bit early so we don’t spoil your dinner!
