About this title

Synopsis

For the entertainer, the cookbook lover and the international armchair traveler. Reveals the culinary rapture and conviviality that make the teatime ceremony a world-wide, time-honored tradition.

TAKING TEA
In today's increasingly health-conscious world, the afternoon cocktail date is being replaced by
a variation on the British "tea-time." It is a time, both at home and away, for entertaining friends
and business associates, and hotels and restaurants across the country have established it as an
institution. The atmosphere is distinguished, elegant, and relaxed; tea is the time to winddown from the day's activities.
This lavishly illustrated full-color book takes the reader back to the origins of tea drinking in countries around the world as diverse as Japan, China, Russia. France, America, India, and the Caribbean, not forgetting, of course, England.
There are complete menus for the indigenous tea foods of the world, with recipes for appropriate sandwiches, cakes, and cookies. Of particular note and value is a complete glossary of teas, including their place of origin and a description of their individual flavors and brewing methods.
Later sections offer an invaluable guide to tea sets, accessories, manufacturers, suppliers, and gourmet sources. From the armchair traveler to the most discerning hostess, TAKING TEA is a celebration of an earlier time that has returned, bringing with it a world of convivial comfort.
