Enjoy life. Drink tea. Celebrate often.
Tracy Stern is passionate about tea. She has created wildly popular lines of teas and tea-based beauty products and has hosted hundreds of stylish tea parties to celebrate all sorts of occasions. She has introduced a new generation to the pleasures of tea without any of its traditional stuffiness. In Tea Party, she encourages everyone to make their next gathering that much more special by incorporating tea into the menu.

Above all, the focus is on fun, not fuss.
The party suggestions are perfect for afternoons with friends, bridal and baby showers, cocktail and dinner parties, picnics, and brunches. A Mad Hatter’s Tea Party–for a birthday or an unbirthday–will delight kids and adults alike with tea sandwiches made with edible flowers followed by Eat Me! Cupcakes. Chai Breakfast Tea reveals a fantastic recipe for the sweetly spiced irresistible drink along with recipes for chai-scented pancakes and candied almonds.

This is a really great book. It has lots of amazing and different themes and ideas for all sorts of tea parties, from mad hatters to moroccan. Its full of lovely recipes for sandwiches, drinks and cakes etc, professional glossy photographs, and it covers every little detail, from invitation design to background music. It gives the feeling that simple tea parties can be sophisticated events with whatever theme you choose with step by step instructions of how to do it. Would definitely recommend this book and so glad that i bought it!

Absolutely Wonderful Book!!!!
9 May 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just can't say enough about this book. It's a wonderful reference for anyone wanting to have "real" tea parties. It is full of recipes, tips and tons of information about tea parties. The author is obviously very passionate and well educated about her subject.

Great book

Format:Hardcover
I love this book. I can see why the dissapointment from others, but it has great ideas, which allows you to be creative with her suggestions for table settings, invitations, etc. I would have loved more pictures of the recipes, but still recommend the book.

Plenty of style, no substance
16 Feb 2008
Format:Hardcover
I host regular themed and non-themed morning or afternoon teas. I am always on the lookout for books that provide inspiration (and keep adding to my 400plus-cookbook collection). First, the idea of a cookbook with themed teas is hardly new. Second, while the pictures in this book are lovely, and certainly inspirational, the variety of foods served at Ms Stern's teas is disappointingly low. Also, with details on decor, etc, the impression one gets is of a "paint by numbers" party. For some people that spoils all the fun of using the imagination. I would recommend instead "Afternoon Tea" by Susannah Blake (great pictures, good recipes) or books by Bruce and Shelley Richardson (so-so pictures, fantastic recipes).
