Come rain or shine in Edwardian England, everything stopped for tea. Downton Abbey was no different.

But what would our beloved Crawley household have eaten at their sacred 4 o’clock institution?

In "Tea at Downton - Afternoon Tea Recipes From The Unofficial Guide to Downton Abbey" we share some recipes from the golden age of England. At the height of the power of the British Empire, Mrs Patmore would have every possible kind of delicious ingredients to draw from.

In this concise book you’ll learn:

• Step by step through how to throw the perfect tea party – Downton Style. From the etiquette behind how to hold one’s tea cup correctly to the recipe for the favourite sandwich of Queen Alexandra of the time.
• Wow all of your friends with these simple to follow authentic recipes, and be sure even the Dowager Duchess would be impressed by your social graces.
• From the bottom tier sandwiches to the elegant cakes of the top tier, we cover it all. Not forgetting of course the perfect scone recipe and its accompanying jams.
• Follow the ways Mrs Patmore would have planned her menus to keep spending to minimum and you too can enjoy a most delightful repast for just a few shilling!

So, what are you waiting for? Carson has opened the door to let you in. Let’s see what’s for tea....

Although I went through these recipes in my imagination, I am certain that the time will come when I can gather a small group of likeminded ladies to have a weekly tea and talk session. In this age of hurry and haste, how nice it will be to slow down and experience true relaxation.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm English and I learned a few things

I love Downton Abbey and I love having afternoon tea. I live in the US now so I don't have it as often as I did but occasionally I'll put on a tea for my American friends and it always goes down well. Despite being steeped in the tradition, and thinking I knew all there is to know, I learned quite a few things from this book as well as getting some new (old) fun recipes named after the characters in the show. Full of interesting information, this book is a great read for those who love England, afternoon tea or Downton Abbey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read and dream about living in the Abbey
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

Wouldn't it be fun to get together with all your friends at 4:00 o'clock every day for a cup of tea and a few sweet treats? This book give the history of afternoon tea, tips on how to prepare the items, and manners that are expected at such an event. I already knew that High Tea involved one that had a meat serving and was something the farm hands had and nothing to do with being more high society than regular afternoon tea, so that was not new to me. But the recipies all sound delicious and some of them might even be something I would make some day. The book is written by a British woman so I had to look up some of the terms and the recipies include measurements in grams as well as ounces. In the US we don't usually measure our ingredients by weighing on a scale but I think if one really wanted to understand the measurements equivelents could be found on the internet.

One thing that was not clear was why tea was held at 4pm. Appearantly, some royal person got hungry midday and asked her maid to make her tea and a snack, then started sharing the custom with her friends because she liked to gossip. But it sounds like they didn't have a midday meal like lunch. Maybe she was a late sleeper and her breakfast was late in the morning(?), I don't know. But anyway, tea seemed to be the refreshment break between breakfast and dinner.

The author has incorporated family recipies into historical ones and named them after characters in the TV series and that adds a bit of fun to the recipies. She explains that milk was added to the china cups to prevent cracking of the glaze on them so adding milk after the tea was a sign of wealth because crazed cups could be replaced. Who knew?

The recipies have lots of great ingredients that most of us aren't allowed to eat in our modern diet, such as butter, whole milk, whipping cream, lots of eggs, molasses, etc. But they sound delicious. One pie seems to be made of cooked syrup and bread crumbs and spices--seems like something is missing there.

There are a few typing errors; the oven instructions for both centigrade(C) and farenheightf (F) temperatures are given but in one recipie they are both labeled C. Once an oven tray (cookie sheet would be my interpretation of that) is called a "try". Some instructions call for tart trays with removable bottoms--I am not familiar with those.

But overall, a fun read even if only to dream of being rich and elegant and having tea with the Dowager Duchess, Countess Grantham, Lady Mary, Edith, Sybil, and their friends.

I love this little book. I would love to have it in hard copy so I can make tons of notes in it.

I read the whole thing in one setting! The whole time I could see a wonderful tea party with the Downton cast as well as with my very good friends.

I really liked how Ms. Fellow went thru how the idea of afternoon tea came into being and how we see it today as a refined thing to do.

Ms. Fellow thank you for this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Recipes, Uneven Editing
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015

If the reader can rise above the several syntactical, orthographic, and grammatical errors, this is a cute little book. The writer appears to have done considerable research on her subject and presents her work in a lively and engaging manner. The recipes sound quite yummy and a read through of the book made my mouth water!
However, several pecular mis-cues and uses of not-quite-right formulaic phrases, spacing errors and obvious proofreading lapses make me wonder if the author's first language is perhaps not English.
Ms Fellow badly needs an editor for her book and should she be fortunate enough to publish a second edition or a second book, it is fervently to be hoped that she secures the talents of one so that her work can be presented in the best possible light.

I have read this book cover to cover and am planning a 'Downton Abbey' tea party for our daughter's 14th birthday party in 2 months!! My husband is English & there were some interesting facts that he didn't even know. It has been fun to page through the book, reading the history of the high tea. Of course I can't wait to make many of the delicacies within the pages of this book. Great job putting it together.

If you love the British tea ceremony of High, afternoon, or cream tea & are a Downton Fan; this book is for you. It's a small book almost like a pamphlet. It gives a lot of detail about the a proper English tea & quotes from Downton characters here & there. I haven't tried the recipes, but they do look good. Easy storage because the book is so streamline. Came in a timely manor. I would recommend this book to a friend.

What a really delightful book. The section on the history of tea is interesting and engaging, it makes you want to get into the whole afternoon tea revival! Traditional recipes to follow also give you plenty of talking points. A really good book that makes afternoon tea seem like great fun. And so much easier than a dinner party...

You wouldn't need to be a Downton fan at all to enjoy this book...
