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, and with extra chapters on a Classic afternoon tea and a Showstopper afternoon tea, Will showcases his no-nonsense approach to the techniques involved in patisserie, baking, chocolate work, and serving savory dishes. Beautifully illustrated and an invaluable source of inspiration, there are also six guest recipes from top restaurants and hotels: The Ritz; The Dorchester; The Gramercy Tavern; The Berkeley; Harrods; and Raymond Blanc's Les Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. Starting with a brief history of British afternoon tea, Will then offers up recipes for jelly, spreads, butters, and curds—everything you might need to serve alongside afternoon tea. Recipes include Smoked Salmon & Whipped Cream Cheese sandwiches, Cherry & Almond Bakewell Tarts, and Fruited Scones; as well as more adventurous offerings of Prosecco, Lime & Mint Jello and Lemon & Lime Matcha Tea Friands.
