TEA AND CAKE LONDON
by ZENA ALKAYAT
Afternoon tea is a peculiarly British tradition as entrenched in the national psyche as the traditional Sunday roast. But in London, it rises to both dizzy and decorative heights.
In this mouth-watering little book, Zena Alkayat reviews and photographs more than seventy cafes, bakeries and tearooms - many of them institutions themselves - that epitomise the city and celebrate her standards. Ranging from Fortnums and The Savoy at one extreme to The Cafe at Foyle's at the other, this is an eminently portable and digestible delight for newcomers and aficionados alike.
Fun, fattening and nicely photographed, Tea and Cake London is unhesitatingly recommended.
