Cake, tea and me

When in Rome

8/8/2017

Lucky girl that I am, I visited Rome recently and in the interests of research (of course) and desperate for a cuppa found myself in Babington’s Tea Rooms at the foot of the Spanish Steps. It has been there since 1893 having been founded by two Englishwomen and claims to have served luminaries including Keats and Shelley who were also, presumably, desperate for a cuppa. It’s well worth a visit. Entering feels like stepping back in time and into another world. From the noisy hubbub of Piazza di Spagna and the heat that bounces up from the stone, inside is an oasis; dark, calm and cool. They serve lovely loose leaf teas even if they have some rather odd ideas about toasting scones and, be warned, it isn’t cheap at 36 Euro for a cream tea for two.

I loved the food in Rome and was excited to sample the focaccia and pick up some tips. Immodest though it may sound, I think that our recipe for focaccia is infinitely superior to any that I tasted there and we’ll teach you to make it on our Stage II bread class this Sunday, or on 1 October if you are free?

I have been wanting to visit Rome as well and you are definitely correct when you have actually mentioned above that you are a lucky girl. You are indeed. Rome is one of the places that takes my breath away and make heart skipped a beat because of its beautiful views. I do also have done some research about it before since I was assigned in a research paper on one of our subjects. This is actually when my love for Rome became deeper and stronger. I just love the fact that it has lots of interesting stories. My mom who used to work at Rome also told me a lot of things about it. I hope someday, I will be able to make this happen.
