Tea Fit for a Queen: Recipes & Drinks for Afternoon Tea

The book is small, as others have noted, but the recipes are authentic. It is written for a British audience, but for American cooks: you can use google to get a conversion on the amounts of ingredients called for, as they're given in metric, (ex- type in: "28g to ounces" and it will give you the conversion- it won't be an absolutely exact conversion, but close enough to estimate) and there are websites with instructions to make caster sugar out of granulated. Yes, it'll be a bit of extra work, but I just love that I now have authentic recipes for foods that are actually served at a British tea!

We bought this as a gift for our daughter who loves tea and Britain. We were hooked reading the sample. The pictures are colorful and well done, the recipes are wide in scope and do-able, the background material is interesting and well written. A great weekend adventure book for exploring new dessert and tea combinations. The perfect gift for tea lovers who enjoy cooking a special dessert now and then.

Cute, compact tea recipes book. Pairs nicely with "Tea at Fortnum & Mason" by Emma Marsden. Both are hard cover, similar in color, and exact in size. Great for tea party enthusiasts. Would make lovely coffee table additions too.

I love that this book is appropriate for planning a proper afternoon tea, in true British fashion.

Was a bit small in size ,. Recipes appeared to be interesting but somewhat similar to other tea books. What I liked was Lucy's comments.

Great recipes but you’ll need to convert many of them to US standard measurements however that’s easy... GOOGLE!

I bought this for a friend as a complement to Annie Gray's "The Greedy Queen." Thank goodness my friend has excellent eyesight because the text is minuscule (I'm guessing it's about 10-point font), sans serif, and a medium gray against a brilliant white background. It's almost as if the publisher didn't want anyone to actually read the book, just look at the gorgeous photos. All of the recipes, many of which sound really good, use British measurements, grams and milliliters. Enjoy this book under a strong light.

Great book - what I was looking for!

I have not tested any recipes but love the petite size book and easy to follow recipes. Every recipe is accompanied by a full page picture plus some lovely historic homes.

A book of small wonder....

I have yet to test the recipes out, but the book is simply adorable. History, pretty photographs, and classic tea time treats. I recommened this book to anyone interested in the traditional British tea practice.

Bought for my friend. It looks interesting.

Un perfetto ricettario per fare veri tea time all'inglese. La ricetta è presentata in maniera semplice e completa. Il libro inzia con brevi storie dei diversi periodi inglesi. Ricco di foto
