This Sunday, chef Darren McGrady of Dallas will prepare a "Buckingham Palace Tea" at the James Beard House in New York -- the same sort of elegant afternoon tea he used to make when he cheffed for Princess Diana and other members of the British royal family. Darren's story and his recipes are all in his new book, Eating Royally (Thomas Nelson, $24.99). And who will be Darren's sous chef? None other than David Tiller, the Dallasite whose homemade buttermilk biscuits (made from his late mother Sally's recipe) were a video hit on Dallasnews.com last November. David is, needless to say, "pretty excited" about this; a Beard House gig is an honor for any professional chef, and it's an extremely rare opportunity for a talented amateur cook to participate in an event there. He has been putting in plenty of practice, making Darren's scones and shortbreads. Last month David got some extra experience by understudying Darren in the kitchen at the sold-out "Royal Teas," presented last month at the Warwick Melrose Hotel. Here's what the Beard House says Darren will be serving for tea on Sunday: Savory Tea Sandwiches: Baked Ham and English Mustard on White Bread Sweets: Scones with Clotted Cream and Strawberry Jelly Beverages: Darjeeling Tea CommentsE-mail entry: |
