Dinner with Jane Austen

Take a seat at the Regency dining table and share food enjoyed by Jane Austen's much loved fictional characters, written by

Sunday Times bestseller Penny Vogler. Inspired by the novels and letters of Jane Austen, this collection of recipes is based on authentic recipes from the Regency era, which have been fully updated for modern-day cooks. Menus featured include Mrs Bennet's Dinner to Impress (from

Pride & Prejudice), An Old-fashioned Supper for Mr Woodhouse and his Guests (from

Emma) and Christmas with the Musgroves (from

Persuasion). The book includes menus for lighter fayre, such as Fresh Pea Soup, Baked Sole and Everlasting Syllabub, to the indulgent Roast Leg of Mutton Stuffed with Oysters followed by Buttered Apple Tart. The original recipes are given alongside, so you can compare them and appreciate modern time-savers all the more!
