New Tea Book Releases (Feb 13)



 


Tea time is a moment for sharing, when the mind wanders to faraway lands and calm returns to our crazy world. In Ladurée Tea Time the iconic Parisian luxury patisserie pays tribute to this libation of the gods in its inimitable fashion.

With mouthwatering photography and beautiful illustrations, the leaves of this chic book are steeped with tea-time menus and more than 60 sweet and savory recipes fit for Marie Antoinette. Wrapped in mint-green tissue paper, with a padded cover and green metallic edge stain, and packaged in an elegant gift box, this sumptuous guide reveals the secrets of taking tea the Ladurée way and is topped off with a concise history of tea, a guide to the finest tea varieties, and tips on ultimate tea pairings.


 



Combining comforting recipes, local ingredients and a bit of baking magic, Mat Follas presents an irresistible collection of tea time treats.
