Party Recipe: Leslie’s Shower

Flowers – A bunch each of white tea roses, white filler and red berries from the flower market (about $30) made two centerpieces in tomato cans, two other bouquets, and a small arrangement for the bathroom and one for the bedroom.

Table Setting – White tablecloth, vintage green napkins inherited from my grandmother, red ribbon, green carabiners, placecards, champagne saucers. I just realized I put the spoons on the wrong side of the plate, darn it.

Drinks – A strong “Leslie punch” was a hit (vodka, Limonata, Midori, lemon Perrier, blueberries) along with white wine and champagne.

Food – I probably could have gotten away with just the cold tomato soup and baked cheese sandwiches. The wasabi salmon sandwiches were also delish. The BLT’s with pancetta were the least popular, but still very good. A veggie tray of jimica, carrots, radishes and cucumbers was a perfect accompaniment.

Rozanne Gold

I surprised myself this morning by waking up at 5:10 a.m. to watch the Royal Wedding. Transfixed for more than two hours, I found it a glorious tribute to tradition and ritual. The playfulness and respect between Harry and William was the most extraordinary homage to their mother. The chorale music was beautiful the shining sun remarkable, the quiet resplendence of Catherine and William was really perfect. Sweet and sacred at the same time. I have no idea what the Queen is actually serving this afternoon at her champagne reception, but I offer you a few British treats: a delectable oatmeal scone taught to me by my brilliant lawyer friend, Joanne Rosen (whose daughter is studying in London as we speak — perhaps she’s in Hyde Park watching the wedding), and two favorite tea sandwiches which I invented awhile back for Bon Appetit. I recommend a glass, or two, of Bollinger today. It’s our favorite and we like it slightly aged, just like the Brits do. This morning, I served my daughter cinnamon-toast and sugared strawberries for breakfast and pretended the yogurt was “clotted cream.” We joked about finding out which boarding school the new Duchess of Cambridge went to. But I assured her that Prince Charming might be right here in Park Slope. Perhaps he’ll come for tea.

Oatmeal Currant Scones with Clotted Cream

The best scones I ever had were made by my friend Joanne Rosen, lawyer and baker extraordinaire. I begged her for her recipe and adapted it slightly. Thank you Joanne!

1-1/3 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting board
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk, cold
1/3 cup currants

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In food processor, mix flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Process until oatmeal is coarsely ground. Cut butter into small pieces and add. Pulse a few times until mixture looks like fine meal. Transfer to a bowl. Mix beaten egg and buttermilk together and add to flour. Incorporate with a fork. When dough just comes together, add currants and mix until sticky dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Using floured hands knead the dough and pat into a circle that is ¾ inch thick. (If dough is still sticky, lightly flour top of circle.) Use a 1-1/2 round biscuit cutter to cut out 20 scones. Flour the cutter and your hands as you go along. Re-form scraps of dough to make rest of scones, being careful not to overwork or add too much extra flour. Lightly glaze tops of scones with a little beaten egg yolk, or sprinkle with sugar or leave plain. Place scones on lightly floured cookie sheet and bake 18 minutes. Makes about 20

Place smoked salmon on top of 6 slices in one neat layer, being sure to cover the entire surface of the bread. Grate rind of lemons and sprinkle over salmon. Cut cilantro into fine julienne and scatter over the salmon. Top with bread, cream cheese side down, and press down lightly. Wrap each sandwich in a paper towel. Place on top of each other in the refrigerator. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Trim crusts and cut each into 4 triangles. Place cut side up. To decorate: Garnish with small sprigs of cilantro and sprinkle grated lemon zest over sandwiches. Makes 24

Savory or sweet, finger sandwiches are always in fashion

What is it about cutting off the crust that makes a sandwich irresistible?

Honestly, trim the bread into crustless little circles, squares or rectangles and you could put grass between the slices, and people would snatch them up as if they were jewels off Her Majesty's crown. Cucumber sandwiches? Sure. Radish sandwiches? Absolutely. Strawberry sandwiches? Why not?

Although afternoon tea is as rare as a Victorian lamp shade these days, the need for little nibbles remains. So these easy-to-make and even-easier-to-eat items show up at bridal and baby showers, at brunches and lunches, and in lunch boxes.

And they're no longer limited to white bread filled with cucumber slices or pimento cheese.

Today's tea sandwiches rely on more contemporary flavor pairings and a wide variety of breads and filling ingredients. A thin layer of butter is a good start, but adding a little garlic, sesame oil or ginger can take the flavor to a higher level. In fact, if there's a lesson to be learned from tea sandwiches today, it's not to be afraid of letting your culinary imagination wander.

If you like the taste of cranberries with turkey, there's a way to combine those two ingredients between crustless bread slices that you'll like as well.

Deviled Ham and Pecan Tea Sandwiches

1/2 pound cooked ham, cut into

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

16 slices firm whole-wheat bread

1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, for garnish

1/4 cup finely chopped pecans, for garnish

Place ham, onion, pecans, 2 tablespoons mustard, hot pepper sauce and mayonnaise in a food processer and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in gherkin pieces. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble sandwiches.

Spread ham mixture evenly on 8 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices. Trim crusts, then cut sandwiches, vertically, into 3 rectangles.

Combine chopped parsley and pecans in shallow bowl. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on 1 cut edge of a sandwich and dip into parsley mixture to coat. Place coated side up on a tray.

Cover sandwiches with damp, not wet, paper towels, them cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Open-Faced Salmon-Wasabi Tea Sandwiches

2 teaspoons wasabi powder

12 slices pumpernickel bread

8 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 36 pieces

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Combine wasabi powder and mayonnaise and spread on bread slices. Cut bread into rounds with a 2-inch round cookie cutter.

Top each round with a piece of salmon and some grated lemon peel.

Radish-Chive Tea Sandwiches with Sesame and Ginger

4 tablespoons butter, room temperature

2 tablespoons minced chives, see note

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

16 (1/4-inch-thick) baguette slices

10 radishes, very thinly sliced

Mix butter, chives, sesame seeds, ginger and oil. Spread in a thin layer on each bread slice.

Top with radishes, overlapping the slices slightly. Garnish with additional chopped chives.

Note: Save the top ends of the chives for garish, if desired.

Cucumber-Mint Tea Sandwiches

1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed, spun dry and finely chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 (3-inch length) seedless cucumber, cut into thin slices

In a small bowl, combine the mint, butter and cream cheese, and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Spread the bread slices with the butter mixture, top 3 of them with the cucumber, distributing the cucumber evenly and seasoning it with salt, and top the cucumber with the remaining bread slices. Cut off and discard the crusts, and cut each sandwich diagonally into triangles.

Strawberry Tea Sandwiches

Using challah for this recipe makes delightful little squares, but it also creates a lot of bread trimmings. Place the trimmings in a freezer bag and freeze to use later in making bread pudding. 1 (8-ounce) box cream cheese

1 loaf challah, cut into 1/3-inch slices

1 quart fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and thinly sliced, see note

Combine cream cheese and marmalade. Set aside.

Trim crust off challah slices to form rectangles. Spread each slice with cream cheese mixture. Top half of the slices with strawberries and the remaining challah, filling-side-down. Cut sandwiches into squares.

Note: If strawberries are juicy, lay the slices on paper towels to dry them a little before assembling the sandwiches.

Adapted from a recipe on the Fun Tea Party Ideas website

There are a few "rules," both traditional and practical:

Tea sandwiches are customarily small, no more than two or three bites each.

They can be savory or sweet.

They're often crustless. However, if you make open-faced ones on thin slices of baguettes, you can get away with leaving the crust on.

Choose breads with a fine texture so ingredients don't leak through.

Use a variety of breads to add interest.

Grind meat fillings so when you cut the sandwiches the edges are clean.

Butter- and cream-cheese-based spreads provide moisture add depth of flavor by adding pungent ingredients.

Tea sandwiches are best served the same day they are made.

Fillings often develop better flavor when made a day ahead. (So make your fillings ahead of time, then wait until the day of the event to assemble the sandwiches.

If using chutney, jams or other preserves as fillings, make sure they aren't so wet they'll make the bread soggy. Drain chutneys and finely chop the ingredients.

Cut the sandwiches after filling for a neater appearance. For best results, use a bread knife.

Cookie cutters may be used to cut open-faced sandwiches into unusual shapes.
