The Jane Austen Cookbook

The Jane Austen Cookbook

Jane Austen wrote her novels in the midst of a large and sociable family. Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances were always coming and going, which offered numerous occasions for convivial eating and drinking. One of Janeâ€™s dearest friends, Martha Lloyd, lived with the family for many years and recorded in her â€œHousehold Bookâ€ over 100 recipes enjoyed by the Austens. A selection of this family fare, now thoroughly tested and modernized for todayâ€™s cooks, is recreated here, together with some of the more sophisticated dishes which Jane and her characters would have enjoyed at balls, picnics, and supper parties. A fascinating introduction describes Janeâ€™s own interest in food, drawing upon both the novels and her letters, and explains the social conventions of shopping, eating, and entertaining in late Georgian and Regency England. The book is illustrated throughout with delightful contemporary line drawings, prints, and watercolours.

Authentic recipes, modernized for todayâ€™s cooks, include:
â€¢ Buttered Prawns
â€¢ Wine-Roasted Gammon and Pigeon Pie
â€¢ Broilâ€™d Eggs
â€¢ White Soup and Salmagundy
â€¢ Pyramid Creams
â€¢ Marthaâ€™s Almond Cheesecakes
