ROYAL TEAS/ BUCKINGHAM PALACE (ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST) (HB)

There is no more quintessentially British tradition than afternoon tea, and nowhere it is taken more seriously than Buckingham Palace where 30,000 afternoon teas are served every year at the summer Garden Parties. In this book, Mark Flanagan, the Royal Chef, provides recipes and clear instructions to guide you through making pastries and savouries, biscuits and show-stopping cakes, for all occasions from a springtime picnic to a festive Christmas tea. He also provides insight into the local and seasonal ingredients used such as syrupy jam made from the palace mulberry trees, and honey from the royal hives.
