Carrie V Shuman presents a compact volume that establishes English Breakfast and Oolong as the standard choices for tea drinkers. The text opens by noting that while personal preferences vary, these two varieties warrant recommendation due to their general use. This practical approach sets the tone for a work focused on established culinary norms rather than experimental fusion or obscure regional specialties. The book falls under the subjects of cooking, courses and dishes, and the pairing of food with wine. It serves as a reference for readers interested in traditional meal structures and beverage accompaniments. The content is presented in a paperback format with 148 pages, offering a concise overview of these topics without unnecessary expansion. Shuman’s selection of subjects suggests a focus on accessible, widely accepted standards in home cooking and dining. This edition is a facsimile reprint published by Kessinger Publishing in June 2004. It reproduces the original text to preserve cultural literature, though it may contain marks or notations from its age. The work suits those seeking straightforward guidance on classic tea selections and dish categories. It does not appeal to readers looking for modern dietary trends or extensive historical analysis. The physical copy reflects its status as an affordable, high-quality reproduction of a culturally important work.
