Riassunto

Eat with Jane Austen.

Food is an important theme in Jane Austen's novels - it is used as a commodity for showing off, as a way of showing kindliness among neighbors, as part of the dynamics of family life, and-of course-for comic effect. Dinner with Mr Darcy takes authentic recipes from the period, inspired by the food that features in Austen's novels and letters, and adapts them for contemporary cooks. The text is interwoven throughout with quotes from the novels, and feature spreads cover some of the key themes of food and eating in Austen’s time, including table arrangements, kitchens and gardens, changing mealtimes, and servants and service. Whether you are hoping to beguile a single gentleman in possession of a substantial fortune, or you just want to have your own version of the picnic on Box Hill in Emma, you will find fully updated recipes using easily available ingredients to help you recreate the dishes and dining experiences of Jane Austen's characters and their contemporaries.

Recensione:

'A delightful collection of Austen-inspired dishes' --Bee Wilson, The Kitchen Thinker, Stella Magazine

'It's a great idea - a book that you can read as well as cook from, and one that, uniquely, sends you straight back to the novels themselves' --Telegraph Online

'If you fancy trying your cooking skills on some really traditional ingredients, this is just for you' --Yours Magazine

'In this charming bit of historical reconstruction, Pen Vogler takes authentic recipes from Austen's time and updates them for today. You'll find everything you need to recreate Netherfield Ball in your front room.'--Kathryn Hughes, The best books on food, The Guardian

'It was inspirational of Pen Vogler to compile a collection of Regency recipes, based on Austen's books and other contemporary sources. If you've ever wanted to recreate the Netherfield Ball, then this is the book for you.' --The best food books from 2013, The Week

'In the girl camp is Pen Vogler's delightful Dinner with Mr Darcy, a selection of recipes inspired by Jane Austen. It's drawn from contemporary cook books, modernised and loosely attached to passages from the works. As William Verral observes of toasted cheese with anchovy: 'This may seem a trifling thing but I never saw it come whole from table.' Certainly not from mine.' --Melanie McDonagh, Cookbooks of the year, Evening Standard
