      Excellent gingerbread loaf, dark as promised, and moist with a fine crumb. I made half a recipe and added a 1/4 tsp each mace and cloves. Kept perfectly for days wrapped well in foil.

The Official Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook - Gift Set Edition presents over 55 recipes of the revered and treasured English teatime tradition. With an exclusive tea towel and an alluring and vibrant cookbook, fans of the PBS series and anglophiles alike can stage every stylish element of this cultural staple of British society at home. Spanning sweet and savory classics—like Battenberg Cake, Bakewell Tart, toffee puddings, cream scones, and tea sandwiches—the recipes capture the quintessential delicacies of the time, and the proper way to serve them.

This charming cookbook also features a detailed narrative history and extols the proper decorum for teatime service, from tea gowns and tearooms to preparing and serving tea. Gorgeous food photographs, lifestyle stills from the television series and recent movie, and character quotes bring the characters of Downton Abbey—and this rich tradition—to life in contemporary times.
