Summary: 4 Stars
In its roughly 50 parts, all written by experienced cooks and cook book writers, HP Books' "The Book of ... Cooking" series takes you to the cuisines of various regions of the U.S. and around the world; all in easy to follow, well-explained recipes.
This installment, the Book of Afternoon Tea, starts with a brief introduction into the basics of traditional afternoon tea, and then presents recipe suggestions for all major types of tea snacks, from sandwiches and savories to cookies and preserves. Special chapters are dedicated to scones, muffins, yeast breads, quick breads, cakes and pastries. The book ends with a small section on afternoon drinks and a few suggestions for afternoon snack platters. Classics such as assorted sandwiches, shortcakes, muffins and meringues, apple butter, chocolate brownies, chocolate marble cake, Dundee cake, Florentines, lemon curd, Linzer hearts, mini quiches, lemonade, scones, smoked salmon croutes and spiced tea appear next to unique recipes such as coconut and cherry cake, crab and ginger triangles, grapefruit barley water, lemon and currant brioches, lemon mousse gateau, raspberry eclairs and rose petal jam.
From almond macaroons to Welsh rabbit fingers, this collection of recipes, while not all-encompassing, is a great introduction to the endless variations of snacks you can serve with afternoon tea - and at a relative bargain price, to boot. Also recommended: this series' installments on chocolates and petits fours, ice creams and sorbets, preserves, and cookies.
