teacup lunch
~teacup lunch~
I came across this sweet idea for serving lunch in a stack of teacups while paging through one of my favorite magazines awhile back. I decided immediately that at some point I was going to enjoy a teatime lunch this way. Today was that day! It was really simple and I love the results. Elegant, casual and whimsical. The next time you host a tea party for your friends, maybe you could try this. Today I just posted the pictures, but I will post the recipes soon. Enjoy!

Happy Teatime Tuesday!

This is such a sweet idea! BTW, which of your fave magazines gave you the idea? 🙂
XOXO
Glad you like it!…oh, Food & Wine was the magazine 🙂 xoxo
Fun!
Thanks Mary!
Love, love, love this idea! Now it just needs to get cold enough to have soup for lunch.
You could do a chilled apple soup 😉 I like chilled soups in the warm months. Or…you could just do the stacked teacups for the sweets course! Chocolate mousse (or something) in the bottom cup and a little jam tart under the top cup.
In the summer you could also do a cold fruit soup.
Hi Bonny 🙂 Yes! great idea! I love fruit soups… some of my favorites are ones made of strawberries or raspberries… and this one… enjoy! http://chindeep.com/2012/02/02/just-peachy-dessert-soup/

I think so too!

I bet you’re right! enjoy 🙂
We just love this idea, Melissa – ‘food for thought’! lol
Well, hello there lovely! So pleased you like it 😉 xoxo…I look forward to visiting your page often.
This is so clever! I’m having one of those, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ moments, though!
I did the same thing! Got the idea from a “Food & Wine” magazine a couple years back. it’s especially cute with a pretty truffle perched right on top 🙂 xo
Gotta try this, love the “teacup lunch”. Ready for some cucumber sandwiches. Come on summer.
