Book Reviews of The Book of Afternoon Tea (Book of...)
Book Review: Perfect how-to for creating classic dishes
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've enjoyed English "high" tea in a fine hotel or someone's home and wish to relive the experience, or you've a mind to invite your girlfriends over for an evening of British period films and serve the real thing, this is the book for you. The Book of Afternoon Tea doesn't spend much time on the art of brewing and serving the liquid itself--I daresay most of us can manage to go from the teapot to the cup!--rather it gives you dozens of excellent, easy-to-follow recipes for creating authentic British food items for tea. Each of the 12 finger sandwiches are simple to make, delightful to the eye. The 12 savories, including Scotch eggs and Welsh Rabbit Fingers, are both delicious and quite authentic. British scones, Welsh cakes, crumpets from scratch (much easier than one might imagine), and Dundee cake! Color photos of each finished item AND multiple color photos to describe each step in the recipe. This book makes tea fun again, and very accessible.
