What's better than afternoon tea? Afternoon tea that's fit for royalty! Written by the former Personal Chef to TRH the Prince and Princess of Wales, this mouth-watering collection of sweet and savoury recipes is a mix of the traditional, contemporary and the gloriously whimsical. These are afternoon tea cakes and treats that would grace the Bake Off judging table.
Twelve of Britain's most stunning palaces and residences provide an inspiring backdrop, and every chapter tells a tale. From a 200-year-old royal banquet menu, to an intriguing 17th-century chocolate kitchen commissioned by William III, and Queen Victoria's highland retreat, this is a feast of gingerbread soldiers in sentry boxes, raspberry swirl meringues, miniaturised cream scones, cacao nib nuggets and warm salmon tartlets.
Teatime temptations don't come better than this - bakers and lovers of afternoon tea will relish cooking up dainty delights that come with the royal seal of approval, taking an afternoon tea experience to a whole new level.
