Dinner with Mr Darcy - Recipes inspired by the novels and letters of Jane Austen

Pen Vogler

Synopsis

'A delightful collection of Austen-inspired dishes' – Bee Wilson, Stella Magazine

'It's a great idea – a book that you can read as well as cook from, and one that, uniquely, sends you straight back to the novels themselves' – Telegraph Online

'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.

Cocina Mexicana - Fresh vibrant...

Adriana Cavita

Experience authentic Mexican dishes on a culinary journey around the country with a celebrated chef and restaurateur.

Adriana Cavita grew up in a small village in Mexico and was inspired to enter the food industry by her grandmother who ran a street-food business. Adriana has travelled around Mexico learning about regional food traditions and experienced the fire and smell of wood in the small towns around the coast and the mountains, where people cook barbacoa (food cooked over flame), agaves for mezcal and tequila, and cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork) to name just a few.
Adriana's extensive travels have influenced this collection of recipes. From the northern, more rugged dishes of Baja Fish Tacos and Birria (beef stew), through the centre of the country with a wealth of quesadillas and Pollo en Adobo (chicken adobo), all the way to the southern regions of Yucatan and Oaxaca featuring Tlayudas con Carne Asada (often referred to as the Oaxaca pizza!). Adriana also introduces the basics of Mexican cooking, including salsas, corn dough, tostadas and moles and includes a selection of tantalizing Mexican cocktails heralding the popularity of tequila and mezcal. Adriana's take on traditional Mexican dishes tell a story of her heritage and the people who taught her the craft of cooking and will open your eyes to real, authentic Mexican food.
