In a melding of the fun style of the 'Style Me Vintage' series with a traditional cookery book, Style Me Vintage: Tea Parties is a vintage and thematic take on a traditional afternoon tea book. The current trend for retro styled events and afternoon tea parties is as much about styling as it is about food and drink and this book will show you just how to achieve your own perfect event. Split into themed tea parties, it will show how to create your tea party: dress your table, decorate your room, do your invitations, costume suggestions, and offer key recipes for food and drink within each theme. Themes include: a Victorian Tea Party (lace aplenty and dainty cakes), an Edwardian Breakfast (country house pastries and breakfast cocktails), a 1920's Speakeasy (cocktails in tea cups and recipes for jazz babies), a 1930's Cocktail Party (silk, tweed, champagne with elegance), a 1940's Picnic (fiery ginger beer anyone?), a 1950's Street Party (bunting and finger food). With advice on scaling up into a tea party for many or down to an intimate tea for two, you can't go wrong.

Brilliant Book told me most of the things I needed to know about Vintage Tea Parties Would Highly recommend Lovely
By RCSL
Format:Hardcover
I LOVE this little book. The recipes are delicious and I adore the fact that they all look so in keeping with the various eras, whichever style of vintage tea party you want to recreate. It's beautiful and fun - an all-round guide to hosting a vintage party, be it an Edwardian breakfast (inspired!), a classic Victorian afternoon tea, a 1940s picnic (the plum tart is just yum) or that old favourite - a 1950s style street party. I can see that this would make a brilliant present for anyone into vintage or holding tea parties, but I'm keeping this one just for me - it's a really pretty addition to my bookshelf.

What a fantastic addition to the Style Me Vintage series! More a guide to styling parties than recipe book (as the name suggests), it guides you through etiquette, attire, music,... Read more
