A good value for the price, but I liked other books better,
By
This review is from: Afternoon Teas: Recipes, History, Menus (Between Friends Cookbook) (Paperback)
This book contains 4 suggested menus, 7 pages of history and customs, and 5 pages of quotes about tea.teas & beverages: 11 recipes / breads & spreads: 16 recipes / light servings: 13 recipes / sweets: 11 recipes The recipes are easy, some as simple as "Marinate fresh mushrooms in Italian dressing" if you don't have time to make their marinade. It's an attractive book with delicate watercolors on every page. If you only want one book of tea-type recipes, I prefer "The Book of Afternoon Tea" by Lesley Mackley or "Totally Teatime Cookbook" by Helene Siegel.

Treasure to keep or give!,
This review is from: Afternoon Teas: Recipes, History, Menus (Between Friends Cookbook) (Paperback)
This is a great little book... It includes the history ofteas, the tea ceremony and all of the related customs. All of thepages in the book are watercolors done by one of the three collaborators, almost each page is different and just beautiful to look at. After looking at the pretty pages you are encouraged to plan your own special "TEA" event. Included are four suggested menus; Winter Holiday Tea, Summer Tea, Formal Tea and Informal Tea. Each menu is complete and lists five to eight items. All of the recipes are included, even the obvious simple basic ones that most of us already know about. The recipes are simple and elegant, all seem fabulous and easy to make with ingredients most of us already have in our pantries. The book is a collaboration of three women who are lifelong friends. One watercolors and hand letters the calligraphy, another is responsible for the watercolor vignettes and the third is the writer.

This review is from: Afternoon Teas: Recipes, History, Menus (Between Friends Cookbook) (Paperback)
I thought this book was going to have more history info. It is a good basic starter book to get you going with recipes.
