Book Reviews of The Book of Afternoon Tea
Book Review: The most used 'tea' book in my collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably the most useful of my books on afternoon tea. Rather than going into a history or details of the art of afternoon tea, this cuts right to the chase and presents dozens of simple, easy to follow recipes for sandwiches, savories, cakes, scones, and drinks, each one limited to a page or two, with a colour photo of the various steps, as well as a photo of the finished sandwich or cookie or cake, so that you have an idea of what you're supposed to be aiming for. Most of the ingredients are easy to find, and this lacks the 'preciousness' and odd mixes that seem so prevalent in food today. What I really like is that the cookie recipes make just enough for 2 or 4 people, enough for an afternoon tea gathering, but not so much as to cast all diets to the wind. Try the curried chicken sandwich, the double chocolate cookie, and the scones -- these have become favorites of mine, and the price for this book is just about right. Definately recommended!
