High tea snacks include country oatcakes or Parmesan popovers, and there is a wide range of sophisticated sandwiches such as smoked salmon pinwheels or asparagus rolls. For those with a sweet tooth, the temptations include an Easter plait studded with dried fruits and spices, crumbly shortbread, and raspberry muffins. Home made jams, jellies and preserves complete the feast, including lemon curd and a strawberry jam to capture the essence of summer. With every recipe thoroughly tested and presented in easy-to-follow steps, and illustrated with 100 beautiful photographs, this is the perfect companion to a much-loved tradition.
