TOC where recipes are listed along with foods to present.
Intro about guide and yes there is always time for tea. .
Each section of tea offers a summary of the event and the invitations, setting the scene, place settings, serving of food and suggestions of what to serve. Recipes for the food are not written out as a recipe you're familiar with. It just gives you a title, take an item, how to slice and how to serve.
One recipe for scones starts with a title and list of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low fat, low sodium, low sugar and fresh vs canned items.
12 ingredients and directions. NO pictures, NO nutritional information.
There are vintage pictures of an outfit one would wear throughout the book.
