Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Lime and yuzu curd

    • mjes on April 27, 2018

      A very nice variation on lemon curd with limes and yuzu - keeps the British sensibilities but with flavors I prefer. I had to use bottled yuzu juice this time but will try again when I have fresh yuzus and limes.

  • Cucumber sandwiches with yuzu and chive butter

    • mjes on May 21, 2018

      I have a friend who absolutely loves cucumber sandwiches as the ultimate comfort food. The yuzu juice in the chives butter is inspired - just unusual enough to keep people guessing. I can see many uses for the yuzu and chive butter including, of course, these tasty cucumber sandwiches.

  • Devilled egg mayonnaise with micro herbs

    • mjes on May 21, 2018

      I wanted to try this because of its use of mango chutney. Yes, it works as well as it sounds that it would. I used the microgreens of the title rather than watercress simply because that is what I had at hand. This recipe is great for those guests who dislike trying anything new - it is familiar with just a little twist to keep it interesting to the more adventuresome.

  • Rhubarb and custard macarons

    • Jane on May 25, 2016

      These were the best macarons I have made. I didn't use his macron recipe as I have a recipe already I find works well. But I loved the combination of a custard flavored buttercream with a sharp rhubarb jam/jelly in the center. They also looked very pretty. The batter was rather bright pink when I made it but that tempered down to a lovely shade after baking.

Publishers Text

Arranged by season, with extra chapters on a Classic afternoon tea as well as a Showstopper afternoon tea, Will showcases his no-nonsense approach to the key techniques involved in patisserie, baking, chocolate work and serving savoury dishes in 80 beautifully illustrated recipes. An invaluable source of inspiration, there are also six guest recipes from top restaurants and hotels, including The Ritz, The Dorchester, Brown's Hotel, The Berkeley, Les Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and Harrods. Starting with a brief history of afternoon tea and how it came to be such a British institution, Will then offers up store cupboard recipes for basic jams, spreads, butters and curds - everything you might need to serve alongside a carefully planned afternoon tea. Recipes include classics such as Smoked salmon and whipped cream cheese sandwiches, Cherry and almond bakewell tarts, Vanilla shortbread and Fruited scones; classics with a clever twist such as Malted milk egg custard tarts, Cucumber sandwiches with yuzu and chive butter and Crab mayonnaise eclairs; as well as more adventurous offerings of Prosecco, lime and mint jellies, Roasted walnut and miso shortbread, Lemon and lime matcha tea friands and a very decadent Apricot and lavender almondine from Raymond Blanc at Les Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. A real feast for the senses, this book will make you want to pull out all the stops and create your own gorgeous themed tea parties at home.
