As I plan to review four of Ms. Romsey's cookbooks, I think it best to cover the major issue I have with all of them right at the beginning: Measurements and ingredient names. For the British marketplace, it's not a problem. British cooks will understand things like cornflour and caster sugar; Americans will have to look them up. Volumes can be a problem. British cooks will know that the pints of liquid referred to are Imperial pints. Americans will have to do some stepping to come up with the equivalent measurements for some ingredients. (For the record, an Imperial pint is roughly 20 liquid oz. Thus 1/4 of a pint will be about 5 oz in the UK, not 4 as it is here in the US.) Ingredients listed by weight are simpler, and any cook who routinely uses a scale for baking will have no problems with these. However I think that it would have been an enormous help to all cooks if the measurements had been converted to metric.The other issue I have, and I don't think this is necessarily a problem with Ms. Romsey's formatting, is that pages will sometimes repeat on my Kindle. I'll go through the first page of a recipe, turn the page and find most of the information repeated on the next page. I don't know what causes this issue, but be aware of it as you work. It can be confusing if you're in the middle of a recipe.
All that said, I must say I like this cookbook tremendously. Scones have always been an occasional treat for me, and now I have a handy and simple guide to making them for myself. Romsey begins with recipes for basic scones, then provides a number of variations for both sweet and savory varieties. The cheddar and chive scones sound most delicious as do the walnut and raisin ones.
Apart from the issues outlined above, the recipes are simple, easy to follow and should allow even timid cooks to bake up delicious scones with ease. I'm very pleased to add this cookbook to my collection and hope Jane Romsey will choose to share more of her favorite recipes with readers.

Traditional British Scone Recipes Traditional British Recipes Book 3 edition by Jane Romsey Cookbooks Food Wine eBooks Reviews
I have just started making my own scones and I found this book very helpful with recipies similar to the one I really like. I haven't tried any of the recipies yet but can't wait to taste some of them. This winter I will definately be experimenting with these recipies!
Some of the ingredients called for in the recipes aren't readily available in my area. I hope to find them and try the recipes in the future. Also the measurements give me a little trouble. Still loved reading the recipes. I love to read cook books.
Just can't get my fill of scones and they aren't available in Arkansas. The remedy is to use these recipes and make them at home.
These are good recipes and easy to make. I don't like weighing flour, however, and prefer to have the measurement in cups. Also, several of the recipes repeat the instructions making it appear as though there is more to the recipe than there actually is. For a novice like my granddaughters this was very confusing.
I call it the Best Home Baked Confection there is!!
These are Delicious for a party to have with friends... Besides having something that you just can't buy everywhere, you will receive compliments galore with these!! try out a few different recipes so that your guests can enjoy not only one, but multiple styles made just by you!
I got a couple of these kindle books by Jane Romsey for the occasional tea party or overnight guests. I have been known to have tea parties with friends done the British way (or what Americans think is the British way!). Scones and biscuits and little tea cakes are must haves! I found this book quite useful and I feel like I am serving authentic treats!
If you know what you are doing when baking, this seems to be a pretty good scone primer. I love real scones-- not the scone/cookie pastries that became popular in the US back in the 80's and still hang around in a few places.
However, the thing that really puzzled me was the author included "8 oz. self rising flour/ all purpose flour" in each of the 14 recipes. Self rising flour is simply four that has a leavening agent such as baking powder already added during the packing process. Salt is also added.
So if you want to make a scone using self-rising flour then you leave out the baking power and the salt recommended in the recipe. If you want to use all purpose flour then you add the baking powder and the salt. In fact it's possible to make your own self-rising flour by simply adding about 1/8 tsp of salt and a tsp of baking powders to a cup of all purpose flour and sift it together thoroughly.
Clearly the author should have explained this somewhere in the introduction or in each recipe. I gave it two stars because the error appeared in every single recipe.
