  '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
  
  Enter Austen's world through the kitchens and dining rooms of her characters, and her own family.
  
  Food is an important theme in Austen's novels, 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.

  A deep dive into the culinary, literary, and underwater lives of that most noble and inscrutable bivalve, the oyster. 
  In Consider the Oyster, M.F.K. Fisher explores the many lives of the mysterious oyster—from its strange cloistered existence in the watery depths to the many roles it has played in our culinary history as table fare both humble and refined. In this canonical study of one of the ocean’s most intriguing inhabitants, Fisher combines folklore, family history, memoir, and recipes to evoke a picture of a most compelling creature. Whether describing her own introduction to the “strange cold succulence” of an oyster as a young woman in Marseille and Dijon, or her mother’s delight at encountering oyster loaf in a girls’ dorm in the 1890s, M.F.K. Fisher’s wise, witty prose piques the appetite and rouses the senses to consider the hidden possibilities of this most beguiling mollusk.
