Foreword
The very word “tea” carries with it memories of mouth-watering, scrumptious cakes, delicious savouries,
golden crunchy loaves and buns, a blissful spread of cookies, light delicate pastries and luscious
sweets.
I have enjoyed time and time again recipes which are now complied in this book. They have gathered
our families and friends to share many good times and celebrated occasions. They have been thoroughly
enjoyed by all and I feel certain they will be enjoyed with equal enthusiasm and relish if you try them
yourself. At the same time, you’ll be passing on to your family, friends and guests a store of memories
of the taste of simple, good home baking and cooking in the relaxed atmosphere of your own home.
This book contains not only delectable familiar recipes, but also many exciting and imaginative creations
and decorations.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working through this book and I hope you’ll make the most of it. I also hope
that the book will prove to be an incentive and inspiring source in your own kitchen and that you’ll find
fun and pleasure in all your attempts.
