Learn about festive baking and UK-inspired specialties during the event.

Join United Kingdom travel/relocation consultant and former UK resident Claire Evans for a culinary tour of the UK inspired by “The Great British Baking Show” television series, aired on PBS.

The Ocean City Free Public Library is hosting the event via Zoom on Wednesday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m.

To register go to: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_niBQK3lrSeiD810e9aCXbw

Learn about making a proper cup of tea, regional specialties, their origins, and the particular parts of the UK they hail from.

Since it is the holidays, Evans will focus on festive baking.

She will also translate the trickiest parts of British recipes for Americans so you can try them in your own kitchen. Pick up useful travel tips as well, just in case you’d like to create your own tour.

Evans is a former journalist, attorney, and college lecturer who started her love of most things British as she and her mother watched countless episodes of “Are You Being Served,” “Fawlty Towers,” and “The Vicar of Dibley” on PBS.

She went on to study abroad in London and, against the odds, she married a Brit she met in Peoria, Illinois. They moved to England, where they lived for a number of years.

Outside of her work for a legal advice charity, Evans became a student of historical sights, pub dining and tea shops. Her business, Tea with Claire, grew from friends asking for travel and relocation advice.
