    If you want to limit your collection of books on tea, be sure to add this one. The recipes are tasty, creative & easy to follow. The food & photos are luscious and might inspire you to prepare, serve & indulge in them with friends & family for everyday or special occasions. It's a Tea Time Magazine book so it must be good.
    A how-to section in the last pages will demonstrate how to decorate the. savories & sweets.
    I think this will become your favorite book on tea.

    I have three of the books in this series. I added this one, which is more general, after purchasing the Christmas and Birthday editions. These are laid out so beautifully, you will find inspiration in the attention to details like the themes, colors, linens, china and silverware. Some of the recipes are a bit aspirational for my skill level (like homemade macarons) but I find the entire book enjoyable to read nonetheless and no doubt the series would be a resource to any host or hostess when they need creative inspiration.

    Guess I am biased as I love the American Tea Time magazine which I can read online. It advises on tea choices to match various afternoon tea sandwiches, sweet treats and mini savoury items. I have pre-ordered the new book due out summertime.
