Marguerite Patten's Complete Book of Teas

by Marguerite Patten

A wonderful store of scrumptious teatime fare from one of Britains best-loved cookery writers. Here in one book are all the nostalgic teatime recipes you have ever longed or searched for, such as maids of honor, Eccles cakes, Irish soda bread, Dundee cake, Welsh rarebit, Pavlova, & much more. Freshly brewed tea is the perfect accompaniment to all these goodies, & Marguerite traces the fascinating story of tea — from its origins in China to present day customs — & includes a guide to the different blends available. There are also unusual recipes for hot punches & thirst-quenching cocktails based on tea. Color photos.
