Have a cuppa and put your feet up with this book August 19, 2007

What a lovely little book, the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea! Find out what your work cup says about you; whether Wagon Wheels are smaller than they used to be; why fig rolls have a 'sense of mystery' and why shortbread is a biscuit with delusions of grandeur!

I particularly enjoyed Nicey's thought about the pink wafer and fully concur that it is the biscuit equivalent of 'The Singing Detective'. The only glaring omission, for me, was the toasted teacake.

A great 'gift book' that you can dip in and out of. Funny and engaging.

Tea and Biscuits April 23, 2007

If you like a good cup of tea with some biscuits, this is definately the book to read with it! It's a humourous book all about the leisurely art of having a cup of tea and describes some great biscuits in detail. You'll love this if you're a fan of the website of the same name and also if you enjoy knowing random things like how many Penguins are made each day. It's an enjoyable read and worth a look.

The Halliwell of tea and biscuits October 11, 2005

I gobbled up this book in a sitting. In fact I was so absorbed by it I didn't even put the kettle on. The authors do a great service by marshalling legions of biscuits, new and old, and providing a superb critique of the major varieties. Barring the odd unaccountable omission (what happened to the presumptuously titled Nice biscuit, for example?) the work is very thorough and wholly digestible. Wonderful. Procure with confidence.

Torturous! February 9, 2005

I'm allergic to dairy products so the only biscuits I can eat are gingernuts which for some reason don't contain milk or butter. I know you can get dairy free biscuits (even custard creams), but it's not the same is it? Although you can get some nice dairy free digestives.
This is a really comforting read. Light in tone and broken up into bite-size chapters. I would recommend it to anyone who isn't a fellow sufferer.
'How to Be Idle' by Tom Hodgkinson is similarly cheering and is just as excellent.

I treated this book like I do my biscuits November 13, 2004

That is, I went through all of it, straight away. Couldn't stop. Didn't WANT to stop. I'm usually more of a fiction fan myself but this book was so great that I didn't put it down until I had finished. Rather like a packet of jaffa cakes. Except that this book was funny and interesting rather than spongy and chocolatey.
