Tea and Cake

Tea and Cake is a lovely site "dedicated to the little ritual that is tea and cake."

The comprehensive site really offers everything you need to know about this British tradition, including ideas for tea parties, a selection of recipes, a listing of tea and cake places (in England) and even a fun quiz to see which cake you are.

The friendly creators of the site, Janine and Sam, welcome ideas for the development and improvement of teaandcake.co.uk so if you have recipes, tea shop/tea-rooms recommendations, or a photo to add to the teapot or mug gallery, you are invited to send them in and they may add your submission to their site and they will credit you on the site to thank you.
