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
neighbours, 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.
