The Jane Austen Cookbook

Title The Jane Austen Cookbook Author Maggie Black and Deirdre Le Faye Call Number TX717 .B536 2002   Location 3rd Floor Science and Technology Rating Recommended Book Review The introduction contains fascinating descriptions of how meals were handled during Jane Austen's days. It also includes several "food scenes" from her novels. The recipes are adapted from a woman who lived with Austen's family for several years; it is likely that Jane cooked or ate these very dishes. Although I only found one dish that I would actually eat, I recommend this cookbook purely for the history.
