Penelope Carlevato

I love all things English...was born in Oxfordshire and currently reside in Colorado, USA. I am a mother and grandmother of 11 and we all enjoy tea when together. I love to write about history, etiquette, women's issues and cooking. I find conveying and researching old recipes and then sharing them in my writing to be great fun. I speak on The art of Afternoon Tea with the emphasis on doing it the proper English way. I also love to travel and take others with me. Sharing the beauty of Britain is such a thrill for me. Downton Abbey has been such a delight for so many around the world. When I realized the Titanic and Downton Abbey were of the same era, I just had to combine them in a tea book. I hope you will read and enjoy the combining of both, and realize the Edwardian era has contributed to the Art of Afternoon Tea.
