Food plays an important part in all of Jane Austen's works. Characters in her novels are marked as fashionable or not by what they choose to eat, how it's prepared and when it's served. In her letters, Jane records various meals and delicacies with an epicurean's enthusiasm as well as her typical sly wit.

Now you can discover Jane Austen's world in a whole new way with these authentic recipes drawn from the pages of Jane Austen's own writings. Cooking with Jane Austen and Friends brings the food of the Regency Era to life, converting period recipes into easy to follow instructions for the modern cook. Here you will find over forty dishes suitable for breakfast, dinner, dessert, teas and weddings, as well as ideas for hosting your own Regency dinner, card party or tea.

With recipes ranging from Jane Austen's Breakfast Toast to Elizabeth Bennet's Light, Bright and Sparkling Lemonade, Mrs. Elton's Rout Cakes and Mrs. Weston's Wedding Cake, you'll be set for any occasion and ready to rival Mrs. Bennet's "good table" or two or three of Mr. Darcy's French cooks at least.
