A must have for everyone who loves to bake ... this is a mouthwatering collection of recipes. --Park and Holiday homes
Product Description
Only the most hardened dieter can resist the pleasures of afternoon tea. Its enjoyment, whether it is a simple slice of home-baked cake or dainty sandwiches followed by scones oozing with jam and cream, is part of our culture and is a tradition acted out each and every day in tea-rooms up and down the country. This then is the perfect book for all tea-time lovers with over 100 recipes chosen by the uncrowned queen of British cookery, Marguerite Patten and is published as a tribute to and celebration of Marguerite's 90th year. There are recipes for cakes, breads, biscuits, sandwiches and savouries from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland as well as recipes from teatimes around the world. But teatime isn't teatime without a pot of tea so the book also traces the history of our national beverage with a guide to all the different blends and styles available. Marguerite Patten is one of Britain's best known and best loved cookery writers. She is the author of over 170 books and numerous newspaper and magazine articles. Her Cookery in Colour was first published in 1960 and with sales of over 2 million copies has broken all records in cookery book publishing.

Format:Hardcover
I was recently given this book as a present and being a person that cannot resist afternoon tea with all the spread of cakes, sandwiches and nice pot of brewed tea at every available opportunity either at home or at a nice teahouse. I am delighted that this book has so much history about tea but also a good collection of cake recipes from around the world with easy to follow instructions.
If you are a baker, then you must have this book in your collection! (along with the preserve and baking from Marguerite as well).

interesting tea information, recipes may not appeal to American palate
13 April 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tea history and traditions are briefly explained, as well as regional differences in tea consumption along with regional recipes. The recipes are mostly European, however, and aren't the super-sweet dessert-type tea accompaniments many Americans may expect.
