.The Way of Tea: The Sublime Art of Oriental Tea Drinking
City Travel Guides > Books > History of Food
by: Master Lam Km Chuen, Lam Kai Sin, Lam Tin Yu

2002-02
Apart from Master Lam questioning the merits of organic tea production, I can't really fault this book as an excellent introduction to "tea". From the history of its discovery and commercial cultivation to details of the art of tea making, little is excluded.

Yes, of course there will be something missing, but as a starting point for those who are interested in a more refined cup of tea without milk (i.e. progressing beyond PG Tips - a "red" tea, by the way! - or Earl Grey) it is superb.

.Pleyn Delit: Medieval Cookery for Modern Cooks
City Travel Guides > Books > History of Food
by: Constance Hieatt, Sharon Butler

1996-06
Pleyn Delit offers a great variety of simple to medium hard recipes that can be adapted to your current menu or replace it if the ambition is there. The recipes are tasty and well-explained. Some ingredients are hard to find but for the most part replacement items are named. With this book, I've concocted complete medieval meals as well as odds and ends for special occasions while increasing the depth of my family's usual menus.
