Reviews for The Official Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook
Rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars
4.5/5
10 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Es un buen recetario, con ingredientes faciles de usar. El único pero que le pongo es que no todas las recetas tienen una imagen de referencia de como se ve el platillo al final, por lo que eso se me dificulto un poco al momento de leerlo
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great photography, a good variety of recipes and the ones I’ve tried have been successes. I enjoyed the tea related quotes from the show and the histories of some of the recipes.
