This book is fabulous! I've made most of the scone recipes and am starting to work my way through the muffins and tea cakes. I usually bring the results in to work, and everyone (Australians and Americans, both) loves the dishes from this cookbook. In addition, the recipes are straight forward, nicely illustrated, and easily lend themselves to experimentation. Excellent book for anyone who likes to bake quick breads of any type.

I bought this book years ago and still page through it for recipes. This is a sweet little recipe book with wonderful photos throughout. I have tried several of the recipes with much success. It is a small book, though, so do not expect history, serving hints or calorie counts. The scones and strawberry jam recipes are terrific. Now that I have changed my diet to totally vegetarian, I have revised a couple of the scone recipes to fit my needs and still have success.

I really enjoyed this book and have used it on many occassions as a resource for my catering business.

What a beautifully appointed book. The images and recipes were lovely. I've purchased several books and have given them to several of my friends. If you would enjoy a good tea party then this is the book for you!

This cute little book, full of pleasant photos, is worth its purchase price for the Mango and Crystallized Ginger Tea Bread recipe alone.

I bought a copy for my Mom for Christmas and she was so thrilled after reading it, I immediately ordered a copy for myself.

Completely adorable. Easy recipes. Lovely results.

Little secret gem of a find.

PS I ordered the used copies and both are like brand new!
Thanks for the great deal too.

This little book has very nice recipes. They are easy to follow and have good pictures. The menus are also helpful.

The recipes are simple and the text was informative and fun.

This is the third book that I have purchased this week regarding teas, tea sandwiches and the like....I must say that it will be a very long time before I purchase books from Amazon again. I use this service because I thought it to be convenient, however with all the awful books I have been receiving, I think it would be a wise choice for me to simply go to a bookstore to physically view the contents prior to purchasing them. It has become a complete waste of my time and money to purchase these books even though I am trying to get a glimpse of the index and content online....The last (3) books that I just purchased with regard to teas parties, recipes and the like have all been extremely dissapointing. My opinion....they would make good gifts to children of 5yrs and younger....I was not impressed!!!!!!!!

I was not impressed with the contents of this book. The other
viewers found the recipes to be favorable, but looking through
the recipes, I personally did not find them appealing.
