Review

"Might be the food lover's guide to the film versions of 'Persuasion' and 'Sense and Sensibility.' This slender illustrated volume...contains recipes of the late 18th century and early 19th century...when Jane Austen lived. The recipes, including some for dishes mentioned in Austen novels, like apricot marmalade in 'Sense and Sensibility' are given in their original form. Perhaps more interesting is the accompanying text, which provides glimpses of family history and the social customs of the time."

Annotation

A celebration of the meals and manners of Jane Austen and her characters. The recipes in this collection have been adapted from Martha Lloyd's "Household Book," in which she recorded the recipes she encountered in the Austen home. Others are influenced by the social events in Austen's fiction. Recipes include Herb Pudding, Gooseberry Vinegar, Ginger Beer, Sole with Wine and Mushrooms, Raspberry Cordial, Curry Soup, Jugged Steaks with Potatoes, Lemon Mincemeat, Apple Puffs, and Pyramid Creams. Food historian Maggie Black has adapted the recipes for the modern cook, and Austen biographer Deirdre Le Faye examines Austen's writings to reveal her interest in food, as well as the culinary customs of late Georgian and Regency England.
