Character of a Hero: Grace & Strength
“I do find joy, even in this current situation. True joy in life does not come from focusing on ourselves, but from focusing on others, pouring out all the love, kindness, and forgiveness we have/can.” – Shannon Ferrell Shannon and Shanda are two of our lovely guests who have been coming to the tearoom […]
Mushroom Ragout on Polenta

These savory delicacies make wonderful canapes or appetizers, […]
Creating Memories with your Children Through Afternoon Tea
Getting children to read for pleasure outside school is a challenge in this age of easy scrolling. If your children do enjoy reading, likely it is because of the Harry Potter books. These books draw children (and adults) into the joys of written story and keep them enthralled book after book. For this reason alone, we may be grateful. […]
Butterbeer Ice Cream Floats
Inspired by the cold butterbeer mentioned throughout the Harry Potter stories, our Butterbeer Ice Cream Floats make the perfect sweet treat on a hot summer day. Caramelly, creamy, and cold, these Butterbeer Floats are well-balanced, not too sweet, and very refreshing. They are also extremely easy to make! We paired ours with some cream scones, […]
The Bonds of Shared Joy are Priceless!
In Jane Austen’s day, the hearth was the center of family activity after dinner. The hearth, with its warmth and light, was the place to relax together after the day’s work was done, a bright, comfortable, cheering atmosphere that pushed away the dreariness of their non-electric lit nights. The ladies did their needlework as conversation took hold. Someone might have read aloud or played an instrument. This place, the hearth, warmed their heart, soul, and body. It was the way these people enjoyed companionship and kept their souls knitted together.
Summer Berry Bread Pudding
Our Summer Berry Bread Pudding recipe was inspired by the British Regency Era and celebrates one of the best parts of summer—berries. In Jane Austen’s day traditional British puddings were regularly part of large meals. In fact, Jane Austen’s mother, Cassandra, once contributed a traditional British pudding recipe written in witty verse to a book […]
The St. of the St. James Tearoom
For Father’s Day this year, in light of the upcoming release of our short film on the ‘History of The St. James Tearoom,’ it might be interesting to relate a hidden bit of history about the Tearoom. For most of our guests the world over, The St. James Tearoom is synonymous with my mother Mary […]
White Cheddar and Black Pepper Scones
These White Cheddar and Black Pepper Scones are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Take the time to grind the pepper when you make them and it will really shine through. We also recommend a really nice sharp white cheddar to balance the spicy pepper and give a nice crunch on […]
Journals
Journaling can be a perfect habit to form to help slow down. It can be used to organize thoughts for a new story, document the day for future nostalgia, practice drawing, or simply a place to pour your thoughts into the pages to give clearer vision.
Garden Accessories
As we are unable to travel much farther than our own backyards, we hope you may find a place of peace and respite in your little corner.
Lime Mousse Tarts
Light and sweet with just a little pucker, these Lime Mousse Tarts are a refreshing dessert for summer!

Enjoy these little tarts with a […]
