5.0 out of 5 stars
a great source of tea-time recipes,
By
This review is from: The Book of Afternoon Tea (Paperback)
This book starts with 2 pages of intoduction -- a brief history and instructions on how to brew tea. "Illustrated" is an understatement! The book is full of gorgeous, full-color photographs. It contains one recipe per page, starting with a photo of the finished product arranged on a serving plate and 3 photos next to the recipe showing the steps in preparation. The most "advanced" recipes involve using a pastry bag with a star tip, but that's as complicated as they get.sandwiches: 12 recipes / savories: 12 recipes / scones & muffins: 6 recipes / yeast breads & quick breads: 10 recipes / cakes: 10 recipes / small cakes: 10 recipes / special cakes: 12 recipes / pastries: 8 recipes / cookies: 12 recipes / preserves: 4 recipes / drinks: 6 recipes This is a wonderful cookbook and one of my favorite sources of tea-time recipes!

Afternoon Tea Winner,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Afternoon Tea (Paperback)
This is one of the best afternoon tea books ever written. The recipies are easy, and delightful. There are items for a simple tea, as well as more sophisticated delicacies. The pictures and instructions are outstanding. It's almost as good as having an instructional video tape.

An Absolutely Fabulous Cookbook,
By
This review is from: The Book of Afternoon Tea (Paperback)
I have only made a handfull of recipies from this book since receiving it only a few weeks ago, but every one has been a tremendous hit, and that's enough to realize that Afternoon Tea is quite a find. The recipies are varied - everything from finger sandwiches to scones to cakes and cookies - and the full-color photographs take you through the recipie with ease. I will be using this book for a long time to come.
