5.0 out of 5 stars a great source of tea-time recipes, July 7, 2000

L. Delgado (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Afternoon Tea Winner, January 10, 2000

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolutely Fabulous Cookbook, January 5, 2003

Janine Allen (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

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.
