A Springtime Afternoon Tea with Belinda Jeffery

Excitement levels were HIGH with the presence of Belinda Jeffery as the next guest in my Palm Beach Kitchen! It was a fabulous Springtime Afternoon Tea with Belinda, one of Australia's favourite cookbook writer's and the queen of kindness. Her beautiful new book In Belinda's Kitchen is filled with delicious, fail-safe recipes and delightful stories. Belinda's wise words and warm encouragement ensured an extra special conversation. We chatted about her love of cooking, baking and recipe writing, stories of her restaurant days and her passion for farmers market fresh produce, there was lots of laughter too. The afternoon tea was a selection of Belinda's favourite cakes and freshly baked scones, served with Jane's home made jams and oodles of cups of fragrant tea. On the table was Belinda’s Really delicious cheese scones, Pistachio and lime syrup cake with pomegranate seeds, Brown butter pecan cake and Sharne’s chocolate cake with raspberries. It was my great pleasure to spend the morning baking and chatting with Belinda in my kitchen, she is such a generous soul.
