Product Description
From the ninety-three teas on offer to the tempeh turkey club, Teanys 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 Teanys 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 Mobya 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 Teanys 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 Teanys 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.

 A book to dream about. February 12, 2007
I'm not a fan of Moby's music, but I am a fan of tea and vegetarian food. Even if this book sometimes looks like a huge advertisement leaflet for teany, it also has really useful information and recipes that may or may not involve tea, but that are really good. When I read the one for Pan Bagna, I actually dreamt I was eating Pan Bagna that night! That's how yummy everything is! And I've already bought online a large amount of teas that come in the book. Can't wait to get them and do drink recipes with them, like lavender lemonade. Oh the luxury! If you are lucky enough to live in New York City, go pay teany a visit.
 Good recipes and ideas-- makes a great gift, too! May 25, 2006

If you are stuck for something to give someone in your life who might be vegetarian/vegan, tea-totaler or just enjoys collecting unique cookbooks, look no further. Written by DJ Moby and the manager of his restarant, "Teany", this book shares insights about living an eco-friendly life with some tasty receipes. I made several of the them; they were not complicated or expensive and turned out great.
Great little book!! November 2, 2005

I loved this book, my only complaint...it should have been longer. It was funny, interesting and informative. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years so alot of the recipes were familar but the desserts were mostly new to me. Like a review posted earlier said, it's hard to classify this book. A little history, recipes, humor and Moby background...equals an entertaining book.
 An interesting look at tea, but it's not my cuppa either. October 13, 2005
6 out of 12 found this review helpful
This 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.
Very Entertaining and Good Recipies too! August 12, 2005

I'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.
