 Good book January 12, 2008
Good book if you want to or enjoy tea parties. It is a pretty neat little book. However it is not a full size book, it it more like pocket sized because it is shaped like the teapot.
Wonderful value for a small gift or home library addition February 24, 2006

The Totally Teatime Cookbook is an excellent value for the cost. It would be a splendid 'stocking stuffer,' hostess gift, or small 'remembrance.' As a sampler of tea time recipes, it is a nice introduction - though I would not recommend this book for those who are afternoon tea devotees, because the selections are very basic.
The attempt at wit does not quite work (and the clever and wry comments should always be a staple of a book about British cuisine.) The author seems to be trying to laugh at American insular ways, but it is a bit too 'folksy' to be funny.
The sampling of recipes is a nice introduction to afternoon tea (though I would shudder to think anyone would accept the author's suggestion of allowing the substitution of sparkling water or lemonade for tea - is nothing sacred?) :) The sandwich selection is small but very inexpensive and quick to prepare. Baking selections, including several varieties of scones, are more diverse and should satisfy those with a love for the art.
This is by no means a book for the tea afficianado, but I have given it a four star rating because it is a very good value.

After getting this book, I have made a few recipes and the results were very good. My friends liked the sandwiches and cake, and I am very happy with the recipes. It's too bad there's no photos, but all is well. There's lots of things to try, and yes, a food processor is nice.
 Good recipes but needs pictures September 1, 2005

I collect cookbooks and love to find ones with great recipes as this one does. However, it needs more illustrations or graphics.
Little book packs a punch June 20, 2002

I am amazed at how great this tiny book is. It's packed with great recipes and lots of fun tea facts and history. It has no pictures, and usually I'm a staunch photo advocate, but they're not needed, as the directions are very easy to understand and follow.
You do need a food processor for many of the recipes, as tea sandwiches often use a pureed filling, and the assembly required for most is not for the faint at heart. You need time and dedication to carry out most of these, although some quick breads, cookies and sandwiches are an exception. But if it's an impressive spread you want, this book is a great buy. (I have other tea-time books that are bigger, more lavish, much more expensive, and not near as useful as this one!)
