[.ca] Taking Tea at the Savoy (ISBN 1862053162)

Awesome!:
I actually bought this for a friends b-day present and ended up keeping it for myself and getting him another one, I looked through it and realized that it was packed with so many delicate yet simple recipes, even a delicious doughnut section. it's not a big book, but the info is. Enjoy;)

If you want traditional British, look elsewhere:
I was looking for authentic English recipes for afternoon tea and was disappointed when I got this book. A lot of the recipes have more of an international flair (e.g.,smoked salmon BAGEL, cheese puff guacamole, pineapple & ginger cake) and the author does explain that the chefs give their offerings a modern, alterated twist. Admittedly, these recipes look very delicious, but I wanted something more specific to traditional British tea time.

Nifty little book with some great recipes:
This book is not quite as good as the very similar "Afternoon Tea at the Ritz London", but it is stil very good indeed and it has some great receipes to try out for your next afternoon tea - the sandwich receipes in particular are great and quite easy to do.

A true Treasure:
This cookbook has quickly moved to my top 10 favorites in the kitchen. The receipes are simple and straight forward. Food that can quickly be cooked before a nice cup of tea. I have cooked my way through the cookbook and haven't found a receipe I didn't enjoy. Of course the scone receipe has been cooked the most. A true treasure in the kitchen.

Tea at the Savoy:
Taking Tea at the Savoy by Anton Edelmann is a nice book which I think would be very helpful to someone wanting to replicate this experience. I found the recipes too complex for a novice cook. I would have liked it better if there were more pictures, and if they were in color.
