SAMPLE RECIPE FROM RECIPES TO DIE FOR: 

Tea Time With Katie

 For years, Katie Bonner had planned to open her own bed and breakfast -- The English Ivy Inn ... but things didn't work out that way, and now she manages Artisans Alley on quaint Victoria Square.

Part of Katie's plan for the business was to serve afternoon tea in the lovely parlor of her Victorian home for her guests, and to book parties for bridal showers, baby showers, and other special occasions.  She collected quite a few recipes, as well as vintage china, linens, and silverware.

In RECIPES TO DIE FOR, Katie shares her hopes and dreams for her English Ivy Inn and some of the recipes, too!  Such as....
