Tea & Sympathy by Anita Naughton, with Nicola Perry Putnam, November, 2002. Hardcover, 195 pages. ISBN: 0399149376 Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk 
In 1990 a young woman named Nicola Perry
took the plunge and moved to New York from
London to open an authentic British tea shop.
Waitress Anita Naughton kept a record of
the little tea shop's slow ride to celebrity-studded
success. David Bowie celebrated his 50th birthday
party there, and everyone from Rupert Everett
to Naomi Campbell, Judi Dench, Anna Sui
and Quentin Tarantino
stop by for lunch or tea.
Perry and Naughton treat readers to over sixty of the restaurant's most popular recipes, such as Yorkshire Pudding, Tea & Sympathy Scones, Tweed Kettle Pie, Shepard's Pie, Treacle Pudding, Sticky Toffee Pudding and, of course, a proper cup of tea. In addition to the marvelous recipes which showcase good English cooking, the book tells the story of the people who have made the restaurant a success. Told in chatty, moving and sometimes hilarious style, the stories of the friends and patrons of the tea house involve friendship, love, loss and triumph over adversity. Also included are photographs illustrating the life, times, and visitors to the establishment. This is truly a entertaining little gem of a book, which functions equally well as a cookbook or a delightfully comic memoir. Reprinted with permission from The Internet Writing Journal®.
