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

Pen Vogler

Sinossi

'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.

Jalan-Jalan - A Journey of...

Margo Weinstein

Can you combine wanderlust and motherhood? 
Margo Weinstein did. 
For decades, Margo Weinstein escaped her demanding legal practice by kayaking, whitewater rafting, trekking, and climbing in remote regions. Then she had a son and found herself in the kiddie pool on a Disney cruise. Searching for a new path, a jalan-jalan, that could accommodate motherhood and satisfy her wanderlust, she dragged her young son to the other side of the world, moving first to Shanghai and then to Bali. 
Adventure seekers and armchair travelers will relish listening to Weinstein’s exploits as she battles baboons in Zimbabwe and surfaces under a capsized raft in Pakistan. Parents will appreciate her efforts to explore the world with a kid in tow and her expat life in a villa where a python on the stairs, a scorpion in the outdoor shower, and Hindu offerings ceremonially placed next to the infinity pool and Wi-Fi router are daily realities.  
Told with intelligence, humor, spirit, and Weinstein’s version of practicality, Jalan-Jalan will inspire you to find your path and take the trip of a lifetime.

Trivia Hub

SOUTH PARK
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, revolving around four boys in a fictional Colorado town. The series is known for its profanity, dark humor, satire, and surrealism. The show uses computer animation, and episodes are typically produced within a week. South Park has received critical acclaim, including five Primetime Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. It is known for its topicality and commentary on social issues, which often leads to controversies. The series has also been recognized for its cultural impact and catchphrases. South Park has been internationally broadcast and has gone through multiple streaming platforms.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
South Park was developed from two animated short films titled The Spirit of Christmas, released in 1992 and 1995. The second short became one of the first viral internet videos, which led to the series' production.
The pilot episode of South Park was produced using cutout animation, but the rest of the series uses computer animation that resembles the cutout technique. This method allows for faster production times than traditional hand-drawn animation.
Since the fourth season, episodes have generally been written and produced during the week before their broadcast. Trey Parker serves as the lead writer and director.
South Park debuted on August 13, 1997, and has broadcast 328 episodes. It consistently earned the highest ratings of any basic cable program during its early years.
