Since nearly 3,000 BC, tea has been recognized and imbibed by many cultures of the world for its capacity to sooth, restore and refresh both body and mind. In Eat Tea, Joanna Pruess and John Harney harness the amazing power of these versatile leaves and take it from the teapot to the soup pot, frying pan, and mixing bowl to create dozens of elegant and easy-to-prepare dishes. Pruess, an award-winning cookbook author and consultant to the specialty food trade and Harney, master tea blender and owner of the renowned Harney and Sons Fine Teas, introduce us to a whole new world of flavours as they creatively blend the spicy, smoky, herbal and fruity tastes of tea into our favourite traditional and contemporary meals. Also here is a lesson on all types of tea, including black, green, oolong, and herbal tea, as well as John Harney's expertise on the correct way to brew tea, proper tea storage, and the seven cardinal sins that result in inferior tea drinking and cooking. This unique cookbook should change the way you think about seasoning food and add a new and exciting shelf to your spice cabinet.
