ROYAL TEAS (ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST)

There is no more quintessentially British tradition than afternoon tea, and nowhere it is taken more seriously than Buckingham Palace. In this book, Mark Flanagan, the Royal Chef, provides recipes and clear instructions to guide you through making pastries and savouries, biscuits and show-stopping cakes, for all occasions from a springtime picnic to a festive Christmas tea. Mark also provides insight into the local and seasonal ingredients he uses, such as syrupy jam made from the palace mulberry trees, and honey from the royal hives.
