High Tea

With the morning coffee or the afternoon cuppa...any time, really, is a good time to have a cookie or a cupcake. This collection of fabulously good-looking and great-tasting cupcakes, cookies, muffins and slices is worth staging a stop-work meeting for. Or, perhaps, reintroducing that grand custom from a bygone era - high tea. Take out the best china, polish up the silver cake slice, iron the lovingly embroidered linen napkins and make an event of it. Peach and sour cream slice, anyone? It includes: a range of traditional and modern recipes for cakes, cookies, muffins and slices of all shapes and flavours; and, photographs of stylish and whimsical table settings are a source of inspiration. It brings the refinement of old-fashioned social mores and manners to a modern audience.
