Jane Austen's Table

Drawing on the people and places of Jane Austen's novels, this cookbook gathers more than fifty recipes grouped by theme. Each dish is meant to capture the flavor and lively spirit of Austen's world and the Regency period, translated into recipes that suit today's kitchens.

The menu includes Charles Bingley's White Soup, Box Hill Picnic Pies, General Tilney's Hot Chocolate, and a Donwell Abbey Strawberry and Rose Delice. Readers can use the book to plan a morning meal, serve afternoon tea, pack a picnic, or host a formal dinner modeled on the tables of Austen's characters.
