I am amazed at how great this tiny book is. It's packed with great recipes and lots of fun tea facts and history. It has no pictures, and usually I'm a staunch photo advocate, but they're not needed, as the directions are very easy to understand and follow. You do need a food processor for many of the recipes, as tea sandwiches often use a pureed filling, and the assembly required for most is not for the faint at heart. You need time and dedication to carry out most of these, although some quick breads, cookies and sandwiches are an exception. But if it's an impressive spread you want, this book is a great buy. (I have other tea-time books that are bigger, more lavish, much more expensive, and not near as useful as this one!)
Favorite before ..... more so now!

This little (?) book has been a favorite. But since going to England, it has become an even bigger must have for me. The recipes are as authentic as I have seen. We stayed at a B & B and she used ones nearly identical - at least I couldn't tell by the taste that there was a difference! We also had tea at Sally Lunn's and the recipes from there are truly right on. I am so glad I had this before I visited. Now I would be "lost" without it. A must have for anyone who loves tea!
Totally Nice

This little book with the attractive cover is a great source for making teatime eatables. Sandwiches, scones, buns, and pastries are doable with these easy recipes. I had heard of Sally Lunn bread and Welsh Rabbit and here is a recipe that combines both. And the gingerbread cake brings back memories when my mother used to bake us gingerbread cakes.You can pick this little book at gift shops, gourmet food shops as well as bookstores. Can stand with the best of my tea accessory books.

The Totally Teatime Cookbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a wonder-full little book of recipes and information about tea, history, how to brew tea and much more. Even those not 'into' tea but who love to cook and entertain will love this LITTLE? book. I love to cook and enjoy all the ceremony of teatime and learning little tidbits of information on both subjects and plan to give this book to my special friends that I know will love it as much as I do. ENJOY!
