Not as much information as I was hoping for - I wanted to read more about actually hosting the tea party!
The introduction mentioned it being okay to use premade pastry for your recipes, but no recipes had notes on what kind of premade pastry you could substitute. Same goes for dietary restrictions - mentioned in the intro, but no suggestions in any recipes!
The artwork was gorgeous and there were some nice recipes in there, but not enough personality to be worth purchasing for myself or to read again.
