Why not host a Russian Tea of Blinis with Sour Cream and Caviar or a Moroccan Tea with glasses of sweet Mint Tea and Almond and Orange Blossom Pastries? This is the perfect book for tea party enthusiasts everywhere – providing plenty of ideas for making the most of a much-loved tradition.

Themed menus for a variety of afternoon tea parties, offering delicious recipes and all the creative inspiration you need to host a memorable tea-time gathering.
