Afternoon Tea Parties

Make any get-together special with tea! With gorgeous photos and creative inspiration for bridal and baby showers, Mother’s and Father’s Days, a sweet sixteen, Valentine’s Day and many more fabulous tea parties, Susannah Blake’s Afternoon Tea Parties is every bit as wonderful as her previous books, Cupcake Heaven and Afternoon Tea.

Susannah’s classic English tea is lovely with lace and roses, fine china and a buffet featuring dainty little Finger Sandwiches, Scones with Cream & Jam and White Chocolate & Lemon Truffle Balls. Or, try her Russian, Moroccan and Japanese versions for new twists on three age-old traditions. There are whimsical ideas for Winter Wonderland, Big Top, even Floral Garden celebrations. And with delicate, bite-size morsels, such as Mini Croque-Monsieur and Raspberry & Lemon Napoleons on the menu, her French tea party is perfect when the occasion calls for the ultimate in style and sophistication.

With delectable recipes for sweet and savory accompaniments, suggestions for just the right flavor of tea to complement the mood and indoor and outdoor decorating ideas in spades, this book will help you plan all of your special events to a T. Color photos.

Hot Drinks

From the first recipe for brewing “really good coffee” (no special pots or hissing machines needed) through Portuguese Mulled Port infused with spicy flavors and the classic Hot Toddy, you’ll find an amazing array of hot drinks to savor each and every day.

Travel to the South of France and even on the hottest summer afternoon you’ll spot chic café-goers sipping a cup of calming Lavender Tea. Head to Scandinavia for the holidays and Swedish Glögg’s all the rage. In North Africa, bubbly Mint Tea is enjoyed all year round in small, decorative glasses, and accompanied by sticky-sweet pastries. This beautifully illustrated guide to liquid refreshment offers an irresistible selection of hot drink recipes from every corner of the world and more than a few unique concoctions, as well, such as frothy Peanut Butter Crunch Milk, Vanilla Soy Chino and Hot Rum & Cider Punch to share with friends. There’s even an updated version of the traditional chocolate drink Aztecs enjoyed centuries ago.

Whether you need a breakfast blast-off, an afternoon pick-me-up or the perfect nightcap, you’re certain to find something warm, comforting, aromatic and satisfying here. Color photos.
