This is the first volume of tea recipes from the historic Elmwood Inn in Perryville, Kentucky. In 2001, the Elmwood tea room became the first North American tea room to be included in the prestigious guide to Best Tea Places published by the British Tea Council. Now in its 7th edition, this collection of 12 tea menus and 65 recipes is found in tea room kitchens across America. It serves as a useful tool for tea lovers, innkeepers, and tea room chefs who are looking for a guidebook to begin their own custom of celebrating afternoon tea. Complete with color photography, this perfect gift book contains a tea menu for each month of the year.
Published in 2001, the photos look very dated from the 1980s. That's pretty much the only criticism. The book has very good themed tea parties for each month of the year. I'm impressed with the knowledgable authors and proud they're from Kentucky. One day, I'll visit the Elmwood tea shoppe!
