Summary: a great source of tea-time recipes
Review: 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!

Summary: Afternoon Tea Winner
Review: This is one of the best afternoon tea books ever written. The recipies are easy, and delightful. There are items for a simple tea, as well as more sophisticated delicacies. The pictures and instructions are outstanding. It's almost as good as having an instructional video tape.

Summary: If you buy only one, it should be this one!
Review: 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.
