The Vintage Tea Party Book: A Complete Guide to Hosting Your Perfect Tea Party

Product Information

The main focus of “The Vintage Tea Party Book” is the recipes for the tea gatherings covering both sweet and savory concoctions plus beverages, of course. Adoree’s recipes are elegant and creative; yet, easy-to-make. Her instructions are simple and straight-forward encouraging the readers to attempt the masterpieces for themselves. Many of these are accompanied by photo gems allowing the reader to grasp food styling ideas. On the negative end though, most of the recipes are not vegetarian-friendly, not very healthy (and no nutritional information is available), and some of the ingredients are uncommon. Furthermore, American readers will have difficulties with European measurements, temperatures, and unfamiliar ingredient names. That said, it delivers on exactly what it claims to be- an instructional and entertaining book about how to host a small gathering (tea being the central, not sole, theme) with a vintage flair.

The Vintage Tea Party helps you plan not only stunning recipes for all sorts of delicious treats but also gives you countless styling tips for the perfect occasion.' - Glamour (SA) Is your pinkie finger raised at the ready? There's nothing more British than Afternoon Tea. This chapter is a treasure trove of tea-time delights, from classics to decadent treats, and I show how to make a Union Flag for the ultimate traditional tea party.

Angel Adoree cordially invites you to accompany her on a journey to create your perfect vintage tea party. Expect glamour, roses, rabbits, headscarves, foxes, teapots, crows, parlour games, cake stands, hair and make-up tips and, not forgetting, humongous amounts of magical tea party food that is fit for the Queen of England, and easy enough for you to make. What you won't find in this book: history lessons; education about different types of tea; instructions for brewing the perfect cup. The Vintage Tea Party Book” is not a book which can be easily categorized, as it combines elements of various genres into one: cookbook, party planning guide, coffee table book, and craft book. Adoree divides “The Vintage Tea Party Book” into three main sections focusing on the factors involved in throwing tea parties for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. Each section features recipes, ideas for crafts/decorations, tea party activities, etc; while being supplemented with photos galore.However, I have only given two stars because the recipes section of the book was a disappointment to me. Personally I did not find many of the recipies appetising, and out of the whole book I only noted down a total of four recipes to try out. I think many of the recipes would be an acquired taste, and like every cook book not everything will satisfy everyone. What do you mean, morning is no time for a party?! High Breakfast is the height of civilization and, here, I share my most refined brunch dishes, for a morning tea party fit for a Queen. Don your headscarf and on with the preparations! Although I wasn't interested in making every single dish in here, that's not a measure of success for a book like this. I think even if you didn't make a single thing, just flipping through it and feeling inspired means it's done its job. The Vintage Patisserie is a haven of all things glamour, vintage and retro. Run by Angel Adoree, the outstanding character you may have seen on Dragon’s Den or Channel 4’s Escape to the Chateau, the Vintage Patisserie is a vintage hosting company, originally founded in East London where it spent years wowing its clientele with unforgettable tea parties from a bygone era. In 2015, the company (and Angel) relocated to the beautiful Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson in France, and now offers fairytale vintage weddings, among other unique celebrations. For that reason, there’s nowhere better to get simple, elegant advice for hosting your very own Vintage Tea Party at home than from Angel and The Vintage Tea Party Book.
