Moby, Kelly Tisdale : Teany Book: Stories, Food, Romance, Cartoons and, of Course, Tea before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Teany Book: Stories, Food, Romance, Cartoons and, of Course, Tea:

4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Very Entertaining and Good Recipies too!By CustomerI'm a bit biased because I've always been a Moby fan. I believe, though, that anyone who buys this book will enjoy it. Moby has a great sense of humor and it really comes through in this book. From hangover cures to general ramblings about everyday life, there's something for everyone.As a tea enthusiast, I thought that I knew as much as you could know about the stuff. Wrong! I learned a great deal about different kinds of tea and how you should prepare them. There's also some info on how to use tea/tea bags as remedies for different ailments.The recipies are great. The Cashew Nut Butter sandwich is tasty and Moby's mom has a good burrito recipie in the book as well. I'm not a vegetarian and I liked the way that it wasn't "shoved" down your throat (as some of my friends have done). There were also hints on how to change some of the recipies to suit your meat loving friends.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Well DoneBy R. P. ReynoldsEclectic presentation of information, carefully produced photos, and lots of help to make this not just another cook book.8 of 14 people found the following review helpful. An interesting look at tea, but it's not my cuppa either.By Rebecca HustonThis was a book that I really wanted to like, but I found the entire premise and content a little too 'precious' for my tastes. As a devoted tea drinker, I was hoping to find some new ideas for what to serve up to go with my afternoon break -- instead, while some of the stories and touches of humor are funny, the ingredients were just a bit too odd for me to contemplate. Too, the book gets overly cute in spots, and while I do admire the author's stand on vegantarism, his self-effacing manner really begins to grate after about the fifth time that he mentions that he's trying not to be self-promoting. Hm-hmmm -- and what about that big sticker on the cover informing me of the latest cd release? It's nice for a once through, but I won't be adding it to my pernament collection.

From the ninety-three teas on offer to the tempeh turkey club, Teanyrsquo;s mix of delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine with a mellow atmosphere has made it a hit with the Lower East Side denizens who make it a habit to attend Teanyrsquo;s casual afternoon tea (cucumber sandwiches anyone?). Since opening in 2002, internationally acclaimed musician Moby and his partner Kelly Tisdale have made Teany a home base for all things Mobymdash;a hipster hangout, chic contemporary tea shop, and host to political and charity events.With Teany Book, Moby and Kelly distill Teany into an idiosyncratic yet functional gift book that will teach the art of making Teanyrsquo;s special lavender iced tea and creating nosh-worthy vegan lunches that even carnivores will enjoy, while also functioning as a popular history of the Lower East Side. In addition to instructions on how to become a true tea connoisseur and vegan chef du jour, Teany Book includes witty vignettes on Teanyrsquo;s history, anecdotes from Moby and Kelly, and tea- based health and beauty tips, such as how to cure a hangover with green tea. At once a unique glance at the culture of downtown New York and a quirky cookbook highlighting a nutritious and beneficial diet, Teany Book is a perfect purchase for tea fans, foodies, and hipsters alike.

From Publishers WeeklyTeany, the quirky restaurant located in New York City's Lower East Side and owned by musician Moby and his ex-girlfriend, is known for serving delicious vegetarian food and over 100 flavors of tea. Fortunately, this highly entertaining book is much more than just a behind-the-scenes look at the eatery. Like the offbeat Teany, it is an exercise in eccentricity. Filled with everything from creative meat-free recipes (both for food and beauty aids) to a list of 23 things that are preferable to shrubbery, this scrapbook is both useful and absurdly hilarious. It opens by relaying a fake history of Teany, then captures the eclectic mood of the restaurant with a bizarre collection of anecdotes, cartoons, hangover cures, random customer interviews and song playlists. An abundance of information about the joys of tea and vegetarian eating, along with plenty of useless but amusing tidbits ("2/3 of Teany customers would rather go back in time than go to the moon!") round out this witty book, which will motivate readers who have never been to the trendy cafeacute; to visit and join in the fun.
