5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Tea Book!, December 18, 2000

By	Dani Crum - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely little book, December 11, 2007

By	Kenna M. Benitez "knitwit1" (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
