Book Reviews of Tea with Friends
Book Review: Beautiful,concise,loaded with good information
Summary: 5 Stars
Hospitality, history, helpful and practical information all packed into one verbal and visual delight. This is what one finds inside the cover of the concisely complete book about tea and how to enjoy it by Elizabeth Knight. She has managed to tuck a large amount of information into a very pleasantly readable book that should be in everyone's home even if they aren't usually a tea drinker. This is practical information that can be used by real people, not some elaborate idea that takes a staff of half a dozen to implement.Ms. Knight's writing paints vivid pictures even without the lovely watercolor illustrations, and the party ideas can be used as guidelines for launching many a celebration or even quiet gatherings. Her genuine enthusiasm for her subject is evident throughout and rubs off on the reader. Buy two copies,you'll find yourself thinking this is also a welcome gift.
Book Review: Beautifully produced, this book is a hostess's delight.

Summary: 5 Stars
I've given Elizabeth Knight's Tea With Friends several times as gifts to tea lovers and tea lovers-in-training. The recipient always loves it! This book combines information about tea with imaginative ideas, including delicious-sounding menus, for tea events for each month of the year. January's Hogmanay Tea sounds like fun. It comes complete with instructions for reading teas and a delicious recipe for Scottish Scones. And, as a book lover, I'm drawn to the literary tea for September. Perfect as a hostess gift.Book Review: I love this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this book IS colorful and attractive, with clever graphics and a cute format. But it's got substance too. I learned a lot from it and consult it frequently. The whole front section, with tables of different kinds of teas and detailed instructions on how to brew a good cup (and I THOUGHT I knew!), was invaluable. The book makes a great gift, too. I'd be interested in checking out other books by this author. Highly recommended.
