Taking tea is quintessentially English, and who is a greater authority on the subject than the sumptuous London Ritz Hotel? Delightfully illustrated, this charming Edwardian-style book provides us with all the expertise on the ceremony as well as the recipes.

Summary: somewhat disappointed
Comment: I purchased the London Ritz book in the hopes that it would give me more ideas on how to host a tea party...I did see some (not many) tea sandwich receipe...mostly information on how tea parties were held in ancient times. My opinion, if you are trying to do a tea party and need ideas on "how to do", this is NOT the book for you.

Summary: Old Fashioned Elegance
Comment: I loved the book and would have given it extra stars if it were posible. Have tried most of the recipes and none of them have been duds. Have eaten in a number of tea shops here in the good ol' U.S. of A. and abroad and I can honestly say that what you produce from the recipes here are far superior to most of the items served there.
The recipes also served as great resource material as I started trying out other cookbook recipes and used the Ritz ones as the basis for any comparisons.

Summary: Sacrificed Quality for the Sake of "Pretty"
Comment: Unfortunately this book fell way short. It had a lot of recipes in a type of font that was so fancy you couldn't read it. I think they valued the curly cues of the font more than the legibility. The majority of time they squeezed two recipes on one page in a 4 x 5.5 book.
I understand Afternoon Tea is supposed to be delicate and dainty, but does a book on Afternoon Tea have to be delicate and dainty too, or can it be a little more practical. I felt I needed to have some form of chiffon on my body just to read the book, which I couldn't read because the typeface is too small.

Summary: Added to the whole series.....Putting on The Ritz!
Comment: I just returned from London where I enjoyed the "Ritzual" of Tea in the gorgeous Palm Court. This is my second time and even with the insane prices with the weakening dollar I would still do it all over again. This book is a great reminder of that very special event for my 50th birthday. Try to collect the whole series-wonderful, wonderful!

Summary: Afternoon Tea!
Comment: what a great book! my idea of luxury is to attend afternoon tea in a great hotel-and now I can recreate some of the recipes (but not the harpist) at home. If you like tea, good food, and learning about creating a mood or an atmosphere for your guests, this little book is just great!
