The Queen's Venetian Jubilee & Fish Pies and Elderflower Prosecco Cocktail

It's a place so good, they actually call it great. The loyal subjects of Great Britain are celebrating their Queen's diamond jubilee, commemorating their her 60 years on the throne. This weekend, all over the country, they're holding street parties to celebrate this historic event. 

Thanks to her majesty's little shindig, and the upcoming Olympic Games, many people are claiming that this will be Britain's greatest summer ever. Dino and I, have chosen one heck of a year, to take a short break from Venice, and move to Cornwall - In honor of this occasion, I've decided to hold my own tea party, and rejoice this royal milestone, Venice style. 
A Royal Venetian Cocktail

some of our friends are as old as the Queen

Using Venetian produce and paying homage to the Cornish coast, I have prepared Crab and Rocket Pesto Panini, little Fish Pies and bite-sized Queen Victoria Sponge Cakes, all washed down with a Royal Cocktail - Prosecco with Elderfower Cordial
