The Afternoon Tea Book | Michael Smith
6 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Culinary adviser to Upstairs, Downstairs and The Duchess of Duke Street, Michael Smith brings to America a book that describes every aspect of the teatime ritual with easy instructions on how to re-create at home an authentic English tea. From the origins of the tea trade to the etiquette of "taking tea," The Afternoon Tea Book provides a lively overview of the history, lore, and proper method for brewing, serving, and savoring tea. The Afternoon Tea Book also includes a complete collection of traditional recipes (all created specifically for the American kitchen) for sandwiches, Bath Buns, scones, crumpets, Queen's Cake, Gentleman's Relish, and more. For bakers and dessert makers, teatime hostesses and armchair browsers, The Afternoon Tea Book will delight every Anglophile and host. Book jacket.

My favorite tea pot, which I got at a flea market in the 70's, and my two books about tea. #teapartytag #uncriticalaugust @Critic_Uncritical_Bookworm
