Book Reviews of Afternoon Tea Serenade (Menus and Music) (Sharon O'connor's Menus and Music)
Book Review: Would have been better with some colour photography inside. (And where was the Rose Pouchong?).
Summary: 3 Stars
There were no colour photographs anywhere in the book, in fact no photographs at all, which was a disappointment, as I like to drool over lovely colour photography of appetising teas and cakes, it adds to the appeal of any book on this subject. (I guess it kind of made up for it with the inclusion of the cd though, which is very nice to listen to with some pleasant music).
I have to ask though, why no mention of Rose Pouchong tea? I know it is not easily obtainable now but you would expect it to be included in a book such as this one. It is my favourite tea and I mourn its passing. I guess even tea has to be dumbed down for the great British public!
Also, no mention of seed cake in the recipe sections.
So, two glaring omissions there alone, quite apart from no yummy pictures to drool over. But three stars instead of two, because you do get the cd.
Summary of Afternoon Tea Serenade (Menus and Music) (Sharon O'connor's Menus and Music)
Sharon O'Connor is a professional cellist and amateur cook who had the bright idea to combine her affection for music, cookery, and books. She has assembled a volume of tasty recipes from well-known San Francisco restaurants, accompanied by a compact disc of chamber music recorded by the string quartet to which she belongs. This addition to the successful Afternoon Tea Serenade series combines recipes from 23 famed tearooms (the Ritz-Carleton, in its various cities, is heavily represented) with tea history and hints and a nicely chosen and well-played compact disc of short, accessible instrumental works. The books are available in both hardcover (with the CD ensconced in the back cover) and paperback (boxed, with the CD in a separate jewel box). They make a thoughtful gift for music or food-loving friends and a pleasant self-indulgence for oneself. --Sarah Bryan MillerCoffee & Tea Books
