Book Reviews of The London Ritz Book of Afternoon Tea
Book Review: All about veddy proper English tea
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Added to the whole series.....Putting on The Ritz!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just returned from London where I enjoyed the "Ritzual" of Tea in the gorgeous Palm Court. This is my second time and even with the insane prices with the weakening dollar I would still do it all over again. This book is a great reminder of that very special event for my 50th birthday. Try to collect the whole series-wonderful, wonderful!Book Review: somewhat disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the London Ritz book in the hopes that it would give me more ideas on how to host a tea party...I did see some (not many) tea sandwich receipe...mostly information on how tea parties were held in ancient times. My opinion, if you are trying to do a tea party and need ideas on "how to do", this is NOT the book for you.Book Review: Best of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Book Review: Afternoon Tea!
Summary: 5 Stars
what a great book! my idea of luxury is to attend afternoon tea in a great hotel-and now I can recreate some of the recipes (but not the harpist) at home. If you like tea, good food, and learning about creating a mood or an atmosphere for your guests, this little book is just great!
