There are several magazines out this month that tea lovers need to know about, so I thought I'd give some brief reviews!
Tea Time magazine is always "must" reading as far as I'm concerned, but if you're not yet a subscriber I would especially recommend the May/June issue. The cutest ideas I saw are for tea sandwiches shaped like graduation caps and diplomas, so if you have a grad in your life, at least thumb through this issue! Following the popular new trend of serving smaller, bite-sized desserts, the issue also offers several recipes for elegant mini-trifles. (And since peaches have long been associated with my fair state, I am delighted with the pretty dessert on the cover!)
My tea friend Janet had alerted me that Southern Living had a nice feature on tea in the May issue. I'm a subscriber, but this is one of the few magazines I see on the newsstands long before mine lands in the mailbox, and I was especially eager for this issue to arrive. There are recipes for everything from iced teas to Sweet Tea Icebox Tart and Sweet Tea-Brined Chicken. If you're in the Southern Living readership area, this is definitely an issue you'll want to read!
And I have my friend Maureen's blog to thank for the fact I purchased the May issue of Food Network magazine. (Her blog also has a bonus I don't: A photo of her adorable granddaughter!) Inside the magazine is a pull-out booklet containing 50 (!) recipes for tea sandwiches. With recipes for Crab Salad, Salmon Salad, Roasted Vegetable, and even Meatloaf Tomato tea sandwiches, this little booklet has lots of things I want to try. Happy reading!
Thanks for the reviews. Magazines are such fun, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh Angela always appreciate your magazine reviews. I have the first two and agree but would not have purchased the third without your attention. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is frustrating when you see the magazines on the newsstand, but are still waiting for your subscription copy to arrive. I'm still waiting for my May/June copy of Tea Time (one of my favorites).
ReplyDeleteThe latest Southern Living looks good. Thanks for the reviews.
I Sverige finns det inga magazin om te. Därför är det så roligt för mig att få läsa om vad övriga världen gör. Jag får bra tips på sandwhich. Samt alla underbara tekoppar! Jag önskar dig en trevlig kväll! Zinnia
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and parTea lady, I went to Hastings and purchased the Food Network Magazine today. I have promised myself to cut back on magazine purchases, but in addition to the FN Mag. I couldn't pass up the William and Kate issue of People and the May Kentucky Gardener. So much for cutting back on magazines. *LOL*
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions, Angela - thanks for the review. I'll be picking these up, Joanie
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm on my way right now as I head home for my copy of the Food Network zine!
