One of my favorites 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

I collect cookbooks and I love to host afternoon tea parties, so this book was right up my alley. It has probably the most extensive collection of recipes of any tea book I own.

Every recipe I have tried in this has turned out great, scones, mock devonshire cream, whoopie pies (oh my! they are delicious!),mini eclairs, strawberry puffs, chicken salad, cheese spread. I could go on and on, Ive had this book for years and I use it all the time. I not only use it when I have tea but also for finger foods at dinner parties.

If you are looking for a book with many different recipes and menus than get this one. The recipes are easy to follow, great tasting and you'll never run out of ideas.

Editorial Review:

Tea-Time at the Inn is more than a cookbook, although with over 200 recipes it is certainly that. It is an invitation to enjoy the experience of tea-time at forth of America's finest country inns and bed and breakfasts. Tea-Time at the Inn is filled with elegance, creativity, and charm. The book includes a description of a unique tea held at each inn, the innkeeper's favorite recipes for tea-time delicacies, and pictures of the inn and tea service, as well as mouth-watering photographs of the foods. Illustrated in full color and indexed.

A Beginning Gardener's Opinion 5 out of 5 stars.
25 of 25 people found this review helpful.

This is one of the most informative books I have read on the subject of herb gardening. I found the book difficult to put down. It includes extensive descriptions of individual herbs from the most ordinary to the hard-to-find. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the book are the recipes for herbal tea blends and corresponding health benefits, which are listed thoughout the book. Also included are garden plans, propagation methods, and harvesting tips. I highly recommend this book as a reference guide for the beginner or the seasoned gardener.

Enchanting, Informative Book! 5 out of 5 stars.

This books is all you'll need if you want to grow herbs. I love the great recipes for teas and herb sugars. The many detailed garden plans are the best part of the book and they're laid out simply with common herbs. I wish I'd gotten this pretty little tome years ago before I planted my first cutting of Mint!

Editorial Review:

Everything you want to know about coffee 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 13 people found this review helpful.

It is a very interesting book about the history of coffee, coffee around the world, the art of coffee drinking, and many recipes of cakes, pastries, in which coffee is one of the ingredients. There are many nice pictures in the book. The only thing I dislike is that there are some spelling mistakes.

FANTASTIC! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This book is absolutely amazing. It's so thorough. It takes you from the history of coffee to the way it is used today.

The way the history is written will hold your interest as they highlight and write in an entertaining way.

The book describes the process of getting the coffee beans, roasting them, and the way they are ground up. It uses great description in how the flavors are different.

Also, throughout the back of the book, there are TONS of different recipes from coffee drinks (hot and cold) to cakes, crepes, ice cream, and pies, along with many other recipes.

There are resources at the end of the book.

This is perfect for the kitchen, the coffee table, and especially a gift for the die hard coffee lover in your life. You'll learn more than you ever thought you could.

Editorial Review:

Explore coffee's many different uses from aromatic beverage to indispensable cooking ingredient. Learn the history of coffee while enjoying a cup of the brew and maybe a biscotti.

Great for teachers! 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

We made a dozen Friendship Brownies for my daughters (3 1/2) teachers for Christmas and they loved them! My daughter loved layering the white and brown chocolate chips the best. We cut out fabric circles for the tops, and I made our own recipe tags on the computer instead of using the ones included. They turned out very cute!
Not only was it something inexpensive to give but my daughter could help out as well. My only advice would be to mash things down a bit as you go...we got to the end and the last big ingredient overflowed the jar otherwise.
Great little book!

Excellent Book to Learn and Enjoy the Art of Afternoon Tea! 5 out of 5 stars.
20 of 21 people found this review helpful.

I recently purchased this great idea! It's a cookbook, along with a CD! It's called "Afternoon Tea Serenade" by Sharon O'Connor. The author is a musician, and author, as well as a cook. Afternoon Tea Serenade is her 12th release!

The book contained within this set is great! I enjoy books that not only offer you the recipes, but also offer you history and techniques. This book tells you not only the origination of tea (the drink, that is), but also the custom of "afternoon tea". There are tips on how to choose tea, how to brew the perfect cup of tea, how to make iced tea, as well as how to make some herbal teas! She suggests how to pick suitable tea cups, and offers some suggestions as to how to throw a themed tea party, such as a Bridal Shower Tea.

The book is filled with recipes from famous tea houses in the United States, England and Ireland. Such recipes include Welsh Rarebit, Cucumber and Mint Sandwiches, as well as Barmbrack. I have tried quite a few of the recipes and they each have turned out wonderfully.

Included within this set is a CD, which contains classical music to set the atmosphere. When I listened to this CD, I felt like I was back in the late 1800s during Victorian times! Artists on this CD include Bach and Mozart. Each piece is wonderful, and I am sure you will recognizea few, if not all of the pieces!

Treat yourself, or a friend, to something special this Spring, and buy this set! Then, call over your family and friends and have yourself a tea party!

Editorial Review:

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

A Wonderful Guide & Celebration of Tea at the Elmwood Inn! 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Whether you're a tea connoisseur or just beginning to explore the wonderful world of tea, "A Tea For All Season's" is an excellent companion to have. Written by Bruce & Shelly Richardson, owners of the Elmwood Inn in Perryville, KY, they provide an informative, enjoyable guide to preparing and hosting a perfect tea, as they do at Kentucky's premeir tea room. Breaking the book down into seasonal & monthly themes, they provide recommendations of food, tea and music to accompany your celebration. The tea themes include angels, roses, sunflowers, Shakespeare, Monet, the Ballet, Kentucky Harvest, etc. The meal recipes are also included and some of them are largely synonymous with Kentucky's culture. They give an overview of each theme and share the historical significance of all involved. The Elmwood Inn, itself, has a rich history and is listed on the National Register for Historical Places and is designated as a Kentucky Landmark. It's probably better known for the role it played during the Civil War battle, that befell Perryville on October 8, 1862. The book is also filled with wonderful colored photograph's, including some lovely peices of artwork, which can be found hanging on the walls of the Inn throughout the year (featuring notably local artists). The art, too, is coordinated with the theme of each month's menu. The Richardson's create a warm rapport as they entice and educate the reader; Much like their genteel hospitality when greeting in person. At the end of the book you'll find a list of tea suppliers and featured artists, including Elmwood Inn. "A Tea For All Season's" would make a great gift for any tea lover, and is a must to add to your tea repertoire. At the least, this book will leave you with the desire for a delicious pot of steaming hot tea. Most likely, it will inspire you to plan a tea party of your own. The Richardson's have also written two other books, "A Year of Teas at the Elmwood Inn," and "The Great Tea Rooms of Britain." I am fortunate to call Perryville home and frequent Elmwood Inn often for my 'cup of serenity.' I also have the fortune of calling Bruce & Shelly Richardson, friends. The almost 160-year-old Inn is beautiful with elegance and charm, as are the grounds. May I reccommend, if you're ever in Central Kentucky, plan on visiting and having afternoon tea at the Elmwood Inn. You must make reservations, though. It will be one of the most pleasant experiences of your life!

Editorial Review:

Afternoon tea at Kentucky's historic Elmwood Inn is a glorious celebration of outstanding foods, great teas, captivating art and classic music in the serene setting of one the state's best-known landmarks. Shelley and Bruce Richardson share twelve of their favorite theme teas. Each is complete with recipes, suggested teas, commissioned art, music and color photography. From "An Angelic Christmas Tea" to "A Tea with Claude Monet", tea lovers will be sure to find the perfect menu and recipes for each season of the year. This book is now in its fourth edition and it is volume two in the Elmwood recipe series.

Ranging from entrees of lamb and ahi to desserts that go beyond brulees and brownies, many of the recipes are past winners of the annual Kona Coffee Festival Cooking Contest.

In addition, this comprehensive coffee book dispenses tips on coffee appreciation and provides a thorough education on coffee essentials. Common questions such as, Is it really a good idea to refrigerate my coffee? and, How do I brew the perfect pot of coffee? are answered in an easy-to-digest sidebar format. A resource for everyone, even coffee fanatics who might think they know it all about their favorite beverage, The Hawaii Coffee Book addresses all aspects of the coffee industry and culture, from ethical farming to roasting techniques and coffee tasting to events and festivals.

I really like this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 17 people found this review helpful.

This all-text book is one I keep coming back to because it's positive and sunshiny and we all need more of that. It's theraputic to get a cup of tea and sit down with this book for a few minutes. It feeds the fantasy of the fountain of youth, and the ale of good health. You really feel that what you are doing at that moment is really good for you.

A source of information 5 out of 5 stars.

I use this book as a primary refernce tool in my life. THe information here is historical and informative. Green Tea is a life saving, life enhancing and life giving drink that goes un noticed buy many. This book shows both the value and need for this "Magic" elixer!

A small guide to green tea 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a nice general book about green tea with some history, recipes and medical benefits of consuming it.

This book is not long-winded, but cover quite a lot of information.

A real jewel of a book! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I love this book too, and one major reason, is that it kind of goes back to the golden age of paperback books, when you could buy little paperback books on every kind of topic imaginable. Combine this with the fitness boom of the '70s and '80s when one could find books on such topics as yoga or running with relative availability, this book fits very much into that mode...and I like a good author and the author is very enthusiastic with her subject. Sure, there are good books nowadays with slick or rice paper and fantastic graphics but this book is surely topnotch reading and magnificent in it's simplicity.

recipes are a guessing game 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I LOVE to bake and am very good at it. But apparently the recipes in this book are only for experienced biscuit makers! I suppose they want you to "guess" how to make them as they are NOT the exact measurements of ingredients and the instructions must have mistakes everywhere...for example, one biscuit recipe calls for 1 CUP of half-half, then tells you in the instructions to only use 1/2 Cup half-half, then nowhere later in the recipe is there any other use for the rest of it...and at that stage, if you followed to only include the 1/2 cup instead of full cup, then your dough does not turn out correctly..I even tried the recipe 3 times in a row one afternoon because I was so aggravated with it....are they setting you up for failure so that their beloved biscuit recipes are not copied exactly? I certainly would never purchase this book unless you are ready to "tweak" everything you make!
