‘Tea with a Twist’ Wins Best in U.S.
from Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
Eugene, Oregon—December 2, 2009—The Harvest House gift title Tea with a Twist (2009), by certified tea specialist Lisa Boalt Richardson and photographer Lauren Rubinstein, has been named the U.S. winner in the Best Tea Book category, the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards announced this week.
The book now advances to the Best in the World competition where it will go up against winners in the same category from other countries. The results will be announced at the Paris Cookbook Fair (theatre 104) on Thurs., Feb. 11, 2010.
Tea with a Twist invites tea lovers craving new and novel ideas for their next tea party to be inspired by eight contemporary tea parties, with recipes for a mouth-watering Salmon entree and other culinary delights such as Salsa and Scones. Stunning photographs by food photographer Rubinstein grace each page, enticing readers to indulge their guests with fine tea.
In her new book The World in Your Teacup (January 2010), Richardson shares her passion for this popular beverage by leading tea-lovers on a fact-filled, taste-as-you-go journey around the world. Each destination—represented by an array of colorful dishes—is again exquisitely photographed by Rubinstein.
Sojourners will learn the history of tea and its influence on eight specific regions, including China, England, and Russia. From the many recipes Lisa has collected and Lauren has photographed, readers discover that a savory honey scone is perfect with dark Kenyan tea and a rich almond cookie called a ghoriba tastes great with a glass of sweet Moroccan tea. And every tea party planner will appreciate the helpful tips to create fun and tasty teas for their family and friends.
Travel the globe with Lisa, feast your eyes on Lauren’s beautiful photos of delectable treats, and share a cup of tea in a foreign tradition—all from the comfort of home!
