About This Book

A practical handbook for running a home-based tea-room offers step-by-step guidance on selecting and preparing a pleasant room, maintaining cleanliness, and arranging tables and place settings. It details serving etiquette and procedures—order of courses, how to pass and clear dishes, glass and cutlery placement—and staff responsibilities for food temperature and replenishing. The volume presents menu planning, sample menus spanning beverages, breads, soups, sandwiches, eggs, meats, vegetables, salads, relishes, and desserts, plus favored recipes and specialties such as waffles with syrup and a popular chocolate cake, and practical tips for presentation and customer service.
