5.0

Add a little class and history to your next afternoon tea…

The Official Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook by Downton Abbey is a licensed cookbook focused on tea, snacks, spreads, crackers, and any other accoutrement you might need.

Accompanied by photos and quotes (as well as a sizable tea intro section), this book is a fun breakdown of common period tea elements during the early 20th century (and naturally many of those are carried over from earlier generations).

While we in the United States might not be familiar with many of these snacks, the book helpfully includes anpragepahnor so of historical and cultural detail on each item and occasionally an anecdote or two.

Even if you don't use this to prep for a nixe tea event, it's still very informative and fun to peruse.
