Summary: For the past 11 years its one of my favorites!
Review: I started hosting tea parties when I was 15. I would get up at 6:00 am and start baking and cook until 2-3 and then the feast would be ready. This book was the first "tea book" I bought. I have to admit I was lucky that I bought this book because I wasnt a great cook (I was 15) and I didnt know what I was doing. This book has wonderful recipes that are easy to follow and most are simple to make....and delicious! Now that Ive been doing this tea thing for almost 12 years I have many different books on the subject. But this one is the most used, its covered in flour and it contains some of my favorite recipes. A few of the standout recipes in my opinon are, rock cakes, madelines, victoria sandwich, welsh rarebit and meruinges. You wont be dissapointed in this book. The size is small but its jam-packed with goodies!

Summary: Best of 4
Review: I've recently bought 4 different tea books and this is the best one I have so far. There are a lot of the expected recipes for traditional tea time fare, with some minor omissions I felt. The print left something to be desired, some of it was blurred, but if you just want to buy 1 English tea book, this is it.

Summary: All about veddy proper English tea
Review: This delightful volume captures the charm of the ceremony of afternoon tea, from the glamor of taking tea at the Ritz to the coziness of taking tea by the fire with the curtains drawn against the blustery day. Literary quotations, historical anecdotes, recipes for all the best delicacies served at tea, tips on tea-making, and lovely line-drawings make this book a must for tea-lovers and Anglophiles. It is a treasure to have.

Summary: Fantastic book with some great recipes and history
Review: This is a great little book for anyone interested in improving their afternoon tea ceremony, or simply interested in the history of the traditional English afternoon tea. There are also some great recipes in the book for tea cakes and sandwiches. It also gives a tantalising glimpse into the elegance of afternoon tea at the Ritz Hotel - after reading this lovely little book, taking aftrnoon tea at the Ritz will definitely be on my "to do" list next time I visit London!

Summary: Nice book.
Review: This is a nice little primer on teas, including a history of tea, tea through the ages, and of course recipes. The recipes are given in both metric and "American" measures. Most of the recipes I tried worked such as scones, drop scones, gingerbread, potted shrimp, devilled ham on toast rounds, the "english" muffins, crumpets, lemon curd, rock cakes (no they don't contain rocks!), the Dundee cake and most of the savoury recipes. A few did not such as the Madeira cake and the Victoria Sponge. All in all it's a nice little book.
