Editorial Reviews

06/07/2021

Clearwater, a devotee of Netflix’s Bridgerton and Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, dishes out sumptuous teatime offerings inspired by the Regency-era drama in this seductive debut. Laced with quippy references to the show’s high-society characters, including Eloise Bridgerton and the elusive Lady Whistledown, the straightforward recipes run the gamut from canapés and scones to macarons and trifles. Nectarine and goat cheese toasts are creamy and sweet, and “like Lady Whistledown’s gossip, nectarines happen to be at their juiciest during London’s social season.” Cranberry orange scones pine for a dollop of clotted cream, which, “much like Lady Danbury... seems daunting but is actually delightful.” There are also powdered sugar–dusted Regency classic red currant queen cakes, decadent cinnamon macarons with brandy buttercream, and the amusingly titled A Bundt in the Oven, rendered lust-worthy with a vanilla glaze. Those not already sated might opt for more savory fare, such as an orange-glazed Roast Duck Fit for a Duke or a buttery asparagus with brie puff pastry. To wash it all down, there’s a recipe for “Drinking Chocolate” that “requires a bit more effort than your standard mix,” but if there’s one thing Bridgerton fans know, “the best things in life often do.” Turn to this volume for a tempting taste of Queen Charlotte’s London.

Praise for Teatime at Grosvenor Square

“Clearwater, a devotee of Netflix’s Bridgerton and Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, dishes out sumptuous teatime offerings inspired by the Regency-era drama in this seductive debut . . . Turn to this volume for a tempting taste of Queen Charlotte’s London.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“More than an afternoon of small plates . . . across five sections, the 75 recipes range from canapés to full-on hearty dinners. . . . Want to sample at least five different flavors of scones, or old-fashioned dishes like macarons and creamy vanilla flummery? They're all here in a thoroughly modern version of the UK custom.” —Booklist

"After the Regency-era romance Bridgerton took over everyone’s television screens, fans became obsessed with everything to do with the show and book series. Add to your friend’s collection of books with this unofficial cookbook based on the Grosvenor Square family. This book contains 75 recipes ready for teatime that will impress any suitor." —Culturess

Praise for Netflix's Bridgerton

"A heady, inviting fantasy of pleasure." —Vulture

"A sparkly period piece." —The New York Times

"A scandalous, sexy romantic fantasy that lives up to the hype." —Good Morning America

"Shonda Rhimes’ debut series for Netflix applies her signature flair for juicy drama to a tale of high-society matchmaking in Regency-era England. . . . a breezy waltz through a world of balls and duels, courtiers and curtseys, true love and ladies who may not be so interested in waiting . . . There's a charming wink to it all." —Rolling Stone

"A confectionary treat of a romance . . . a swoony, refreshingly modern take on Regency romance." —Variety

"Glitters with period drama glory. . . . To some, Bridgerton might seem like a combination of Pride and Prejudice and Gossip Girl: An unseen gossipmonger plays loose with the lives of well-to-do young socialites in 19th-century London. But dismissing a story set in upper-class England as an Austen copycat is reductive. As formidable and beloved a writer as she was, Austen never penned anything so unabashedly sexy, so deliciously melodramatic and with so many orchestral versions of pop songs (try to pick out the Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift hits)." —USA Today

"A Moreish Treat."  —Guardian

"Scintillating." —Roger Ebert

"A horny historical romance for the ages." —Entertainment Weekly

"Sexy, charming, and endlessly entertaining." —Glamour
