Afternoon Tea Serenade: Cookbook with Music CD

Menus and Music #12

by Sharon O'Connor

Sharon O'Connor is a professional cellist and amateur cook who had the bright idea to combine her affection for music, cookery, and books. She has assembled a volume of tasty recipes from well-known San Francisco restaurants, accompanied by a compact disc of chamber music recorded by the string quartet to which she belongs. This addition to the successful Afternoon Tea Serenade series combines recipes from 23 famed tearooms (the Ritz-Carleton, in its various cities, is heavily represented) with tea history and hints and a nicely chosen and well-played compact disc of short, accessible instrumental works. The books are available in both hardcover (with the CD ensconced in the back cover) and paperback (boxed, with the CD in a separate jewel box). They make a thoughtful gift for music or food-loving friends and a pleasant self-indulgence for oneself. --Sarah Bryan Miller

My absolute favourite cookbook with a lovely musical cd included.

I have read this book many times. It is always a reference when I prepare a special afternoon tea. The CD has been out of commission for a long time. Good thing for Apple Music and Spotify.
