Product Description
Product Description
The art of taking tea is rarely seen in its full glory and splendour, but in Taking Tea at The Savoy, the complete history and importance of this ancient tradition is brought together in a beautifully illustrated gift book. Internationally acclaimed chef, Anton Edelmann, writes about the importance of the tea ceremony within the context of the world-famous Savoy hotel. The Savoy is credited as one of the last remaining bastions of style, elegance, and tradition. No other establishment is better suited in providing the backdrop to the historical, and popular custom of taking tea. Packed through with interesting material, including anecdotal information about the tradition of afternoon tea, the making and blending of the personalised Savoy tea, together with thirty simple tea recipes, this book culminates in a delightful account of a bygone age. Complete with elegant, atmospherical photos, Taking Tea at The Savoy will interest anyone interested in tea and its customs.

Like Being Back in London!

Format:Hardcover
What a marvelous little book. Having had the honor to actually take tea at the Savoy (about a year ago), this book has let me relive that afternoon all over again. The recipes for the scrumptuous treats and goodies I remember are all there. I can't wait to turn loose in the kitchen and recreate that great afternoon. If you have ever had a proper British high tea, or wonder what one is like, this book can help bring the moment to life.

This book is not quite as good as the very similar "Afternoon Tea at the Ritz London", but it is stil very good indeed and it has some great receipes to try out for your next afternoon tea - the sandwich receipes in particular are great and quite easy to do.
