Summary: Recipes don't work
Comment: I am surprised people were raving about this book. I've tried a couple recipes from the book and they just didn't work. I just baked the Chocolate Checkerboards frm ths book ths morning, I followed exactly what it says on the recipe but the result turned out to be a disaster !!!

Summary: Perfect how-to for creating classic dishes
Comment: If you've enjoyed English "high" tea in a fine hotel or someone's home and wish to relive the experience, or you've a mind to invite your girlfriends over for an evening of British period films and serve the real thing, this is the book for you. The Book of Afternoon Tea doesn't spend much time on the art of brewing and serving the liquid itself--I daresay most of us can manage to go from the teapot to the cup!--rather it gives you dozens of excellent, easy-to-follow recipes for creating authentic British food items for tea. Each of the 12 finger sandwiches are simple to make, delightful to the eye. The 12 savories, including Scotch eggs and Welsh Rabbit Fingers, are both delicious and quite authentic. British scones, Welsh cakes, crumpets from scratch (much easier than one might imagine), and Dundee cake! Color photos of each finished item AND multiple color photos to describe each step in the recipe. This book makes tea fun again, and very accessible.

Summary: Bridal Shower Tea a success!
Comment: This book is wonderful. I was first loaned a copy from a friend to aid me in throwing a Bridal Shower Tea. The recipes are so simple but so tasty that I had to buy my very own copy. We made five different items in this book for the tea and all the ladies just complimented the food over and over again. Have recommended to friends and even given this book as gifts. One of the best little cookbooks I own!

Summary: Did not like this book - returned it.
Comment: I did not like this book at all. I thought I would find several lovely recipes for tea time, but only saw one or two that I might even consider using. Not a real pretty book for a collection or coffee table either - not that I was looking at it for that purpose, but if a tea book does not serve either function (good recipes and/or lovely book), then it is not worth bothering. The only reason I put one star in this review is because you cannot submit a review with zero or less stars! I would give this book a minus two on a scale of one to ten!

Summary: Great photos with recipes
Comment: I was drawn to the great photos in this cookbook which I will try out for a library tea party next month. The book is easy to read with plenty of great recipes.
