Busy Mums Cooking Tips For Summer

Do you remember High Tea? I do, particularly when I visited my grandparent’s house for the weekend.

High Tea was a grand affair,  My Nan really liked cooking and she always put on a great spread for High Tea on a Saturday afternoon.

Now as a family we tend to eat our main meal in the evening so High Tea has been swopped for summer barbeques, and maybe a little alfresco eating on a Saturday evening – weather and all that permitting.

But I think I am going to bring back High Tea as a time-saving alternative to an early evening supper for friends or family.

What a nice alternative for a summer evening.  And also there are so many time-saving reasons to do it.

Most stuff can be made earlier.  And most stuff can be bought earlier if you want to cheat.

Here are a few really easy ideas for a really easy High Tea.

Some really nice bread, butter and jam.

Cheese – good old cheddar I think personally would be best and depending on personal taste may be a slice of Wiltshire Ham.

Add some cucumber and cherry tomatoes as finger food.
