Tablescapes
Here we feature our favourite seasonal tablescapes.
Spring Splendour with Johnson Brothers’ Garfield (Pareek) and Julia Amber Stemware
There's something magical about spring dining outdoors—the first warm breeze, the sunlight dappled through fresh foliage, and the sheer joy of setting a table surrounded by nature. For this alfresco tablescape, I leaned into that spirit with a palette of sunshine...
Fitz & Floyd Wild Strawberry
Spring has been long coming this year in the Northeast. While I've relished the additional daylight, I'm longing for warmer temperatures and dry days. My goosebumps are starting to rust! But a glimmer of hope has emerged with the advent of luscious strawberries. They...
Lilies of the Valley with Cleo Blue
I feared for the Lilies of the Valley when we elected to plant a fledgling pink dogwood tree in the middle of the patch last year. I needn't have worried, apparently. We had a bumper crop. Despite their delicate appearance, they are one tough plant. Mrs Alice produces...
Chelsea Porcelain with Lilacs
The lilacs are blooming, the sun is shining, and I've just finished tucking a couple of dozen dahlia tubers into the perennial garden. It's time to get cleaned up and have a mug of tea. The table is already set with Chelsea Porcelain from the Royal Collection Shop. I...
Endless Summer with Estelle and Duck Napkins
We are just on the cusp of summer when cool blue and white reign supreme. Estelle byHutschenreuther (I always have to look up the spelling of that one) is among my favourite patterns. During our early days vacationing in Cape Cod in the late 1990s, the Tabletop Shop...
A Sublimely Fragrant Table for Mother’s Day
Luscious lilacs are with us once more. Hooray! I can never get enough of their heavenly scent. Since we lost our ancient lilac bush a year ago, I've had to content myself with the relatively meagre offerings from the bushes planted to replace it. They'll come along in...

Seasonal Food and Flora
Here are some of our favourite seasonal recipes.
Ginger Rhubarb Coffee Cake
It's late spring, and with spring comes rhubarb. Alleluia! The trick with rhubarb is to cook it with sufficient sugar for a short enough time to take the edge off the tartness without making the fruit mushy. In this recipe, the rhubarb is macerated (making it tender),...
Succulent Strawberry Salad
Looking for a no-fail starter for a dinner party? This colourfully fresh salad pleases foodies and veggie-haters alike. The juicy strawberries are the star of the show, but the supporting cast of grapes, melon, kiwi and avocado provides an intriguing combination of...
Asparagus, Tomato and Goat Cheese Frittata
This is one of our favourite weekend breakfasts. It comes together in minutes and uses up whatever leftovers we have from grilling earlier in the week, from mushrooms to asparagus; sometimes we even toss in the crumbled meat from a lonely Italian sausage. A...
Strawberry Rhubarb Torte
Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic combination for good reason. When strawberries are at their peak, their sweet flavour provides a fabulous counterpoint to the tart tanginess of rhubarb. Add in fluffy baked meringue, toasted almonds and a deliciously moist sponge...
Farro Salad with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas and Tomatoes
Grain salads are a wonderful option for summer meals, and this one is bursting with flavour and nutrition. I served it with pork tenderloin that I seared in a cast iron skillet and then roasted in the oven. Delicious!
Cliveden 66 Cocktail
On one of our UK jaunts, we dined at Cliveden, a National Trust properties which is also a wonderful hotel. They have recently undergone extensive renovations and the result is truly marvellous.
