Book Reviews of The Book of Afternoon Tea (Book of...)
Book Review: An Absolutely Fabulous Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: There's No Time Like Tea Time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever wonder how that batter is supposed to look? How stiff does the peak have to be after beating the egg whites? Yes? Well, not to fear- you won't have any of those problems if you use this cookbook.I can't help but give this book 5 stars. I enjoy cooking and baking as a hobby and even more since I found a couple of the HP Cookbooks at a used book store in Chicago. Not only do the recipes make for some delicious meals but they have exquisite full-color photographs side by side with step by step instructions. These series are a must-have resource for those who enjoy cooking and culinary art, both photographic and gastronomic!
This particular book features some beautiful and tasty recipees for various breads, cakes, and cookies. Cook from this book and tea time will be the best time of the day!
Book Review: If you buy only one, it should be this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the absolute best compilation of tea recipes I've come across. The recipes are wholly uncomplicated and definitely tasty! For those of you thinking of hosting teas, I'd suggest this as your main buy if you're looking for a recipe resource. I have several others, but I always end up using the recipes in this book.Don't be afraid of the ingredients (curry and mango chutney), they are what make the recipes memorable for those that attend. I'll be ordering a new copy because my first one is getting worn out fast.

I love this book. I've used several of the recipes already and have had great success. They were delicious. My Tea Party guests just loved the sandwiches and the desserts I made using the recipes in this book. I highly recommend this book---it's great for any entertaining occassion.Book Review: a great source of tea-time recipes
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
