Whether it's a tea party in the garden or a cosy gathering by the fire, afternoon tea is a treat at any time of year. Teatime should begin with Sandwiches and Savouries - delectable savoury morsels that range from traditional fare such as Finger Sandwiches to the more exotic flavours of Quick Blinis with Wasabi Cream and Caviar. Scones and Teacakes features some new takes on old classics. Try Blueberry and Lime Drop Scones or Orange and Walnut Scones with Mascarpone and Fig Preserve. For the ultimate tea-time indulgence, tuck into Fancies - sweet morsels such as Baby Eclairs with Coffee Creme Patissiere and Coffee Sauce or Orange Tuiles with Flaked Almonds. Finally, Cakes are the crowning glory of any tea party and there are a range of delicious flavours to choose from. Tried and tested recipes include Lemon Drizzle Cake, Coffee and Walnut Cake and Victoria Sandwich Filled with Cream and Strawberries. Afternoon Tea features delicate bite-size treats that are guaranteed to charm your guests. Bring out your best china, fill up the teapot and enjoy this wonderful tradition. *An irresistible collection of sweet and savoury recipes, from little toasts to finger sandwiches and scones to baby pavlovas. *Packed with information about preparing a tea-time feast, including how to make the perfect cup of tea. *Irresistible photography by Martin Brigdale.

- Small Tea Book
First off, I was surprised at the size of the book, rather smaller than it appears online. If you are looking for a pretty little book with a few recipes with pictures, then you will enjoy it. I think the photography is lovely and the recipes, while not tested yet myself, seem delicious. I was hoping to get a book with more photos of different tea settings and such to go along with the recipes so in that regard, this book is disappointing. Still, I will keep it to go along with other tea books I have.

- beautiful cookbook
this is a beautifully photographed cookbook. i've tried several recipes and they are very yummy. if you are looking for etiquette i would recommend another book. but for recipes this one is very nice.

- More than pretty
You can actually put this book to good use. The recipes work in real life and are delicious.

- Afternoon Tea
It's hard to tell about books without being able to see a little more inside. I wanted a beautiful picture book. This one is a recipe book but not lots of pics. It's o.k.

- A Sweet Little Book
If you are expecting a huge collection of recipes or instructions as to the protocols of serving Afternoon Tea, this book is not for you. However if you already have an idea of how to serve afternoon tea and simply need some traditional recipes, this may be a good book to use. I really enjoyed the photography and the recipes as well. I would have liked more recipes for the savory courses, but I loved the petite sweets and the tortes and breads. Not an exhaustive tea reference, which should be obvious since it is only 64 pages, but a good one.
