After tasting yummy scones with creme fraiche and berry preserves at a high tea in London, I borrowed this book from a friend and tried several recipes. Breakfast Berry Shortcakes (p. 18) are the best ones I've very eaten, although sinfully laden with butter. And I've never before found a recipe for creme fraiche (p. 19), so much more delicious on scones than plain whipped cream. The raisin scones and simple sweet scones lived up to the ones I ate in Britain. There are complete directions and discussions with each recipe.

I found this book in a library many years ago. After trying several recipes, I decided I needed to own it. Every single recipe was fast and easy (especially if done in a food processor) and made me look like a domestic goddess! At least three of my friends have bought this book as a result of the scones I've made for them. I also like the book of Pancakes and Waffles by Elizabeth Alston. If she ever writes a book entirely on small meals for two, I'll be first in line with cash in hand!

This little gem has 62 recipes that are outstanding. My friend Alison has made almost all the recipes. I was munching the ginger scone topped with whipped cream, when I asked for the recipe. She brought out the book telling me the recipes she has made over the years--they all were very good. I promptly ordered it from Amazon. Now what to make for Sunday Breakfast?

I was looking for a cook book on scones and was quite pleased with the variety of recipes because this was mostly scones. This is just what I wanted.

Almost every recipe in this book hits the mark. The variety of recipes is also nice - savory to sweet.

and wanted to replace it after losing my other one in the flood after Hurricane Katrina. My husband and I made scones every Sat. morning for a while when we were younger, and it has some of my favorites. I love the lemon scones (a variation of the plain scone).

The item still hasnt shown up. I have checked the tracking.. and it finishes tracking sometime around the end of November.
This was supposed to be a christmas present, and never showed up. I normally love Amazon as things arrive on time.. I'm not happy about this.

Has good sounding recipes. Anxious to try the creme fraiche recipe. However, when I went to the index just to look for scones, I found that scones were mixed in with all the other recipes, and you need to know the name of the one you're looking for. A list of all the scones in one place would be much more convenient. Do intend to try some of the recipes.
