A Culinary Passport to Italy: What’s Included in the WonderDays Italian Afternoon Tea
WonderDays’ Italian Afternoon Tea takes you on a delightful journey through Italian cuisine, featuring a delectable spread unlike any other:
Three-Tiered Tower of Temptation: Similar to a traditional afternoon tea, the centerpiece is a three-tiered stand overflowing with a tempting selection of sweet and savory treats.
A Savory Symphony: Prepare to be tantalized by a delightful array of savory bites showcasing the best of Italy. Imagine miniature focaccias adorned with pesto, roasted vegetables, or cured meats. Bruschetta bursting with fresh tomatoes and basil or arancini, fried rice balls filled with cheese and ragù, might also grace the tower. Vegetarian options are typically available to ensure inclusivity.
Sweet Sensations: The top tier isn’t just about pastries. Think delicate biscotti perfect for dunking in sweet dessert wines, miniature cannoli overflowing with creamy ricotta and chocolate chips, or even slices of classic Italian cakes like Panna Cotta or Tiramisu.
A Touch of Tradition: A quintessential element of afternoon tea remains – a selection of loose-leaf teas. Choose your perfect cup to complement the Italian flavors and create a truly immersive experience.
