A Little English Book of Teas


I don't know if I like this book best for its artistic illustrations of food and drink, or for the wealth of recipes it contains. A Little English Book of Teas presents an exquisite array of afternoon tea fare. From crumpets, to watercress sandwiches, Florentines, Bramble jelly, scones, and more, each recipe is accompanied by a delightful full-color illustration. This darling little book was first published in 1989 by Chronicle Books. It's authored by Rosa Mashiter with illustrations by Milanda Lopez. If you enjoy the art of afternoon tea, I think you will like this book.

  1. Thought I have a couple of wee books on the subject of teas, I'm sure that I would enjoy this one. I look for them at flea markets all the time. (Ugh. The mere mention of fleas...)

  4. I thought I had this book, but now that I'm looking, I can't find it. It will go on my wish list. I believe I need to reorganize my tea bookshelves!

  6. I would love having this little book. I have another book in this series on Japanese cooking and it is a good one. So I can just imagine this one would be good too.
