Dinner with Mr. Darcy: Recipes Inspired By the Novels and Letters of Jane Austen by Pen Vogler
5.0
If you know me, you know how much I love Jane Austen. It is just one of a few of the stereotypes of being an English major that I inhabit. From the Pride and Prejudice movie to owning multiple copies of the same book, I can’t seem to get away from those classics.
So of course, it is natural for me to find a cookbook based on Jane Austen novels and her letters. CICO books were lovely and offered to send me the cookbook Dinner with Mr. Darcy by Pen Vogler in exchange for an honest review.
Pen Vogler has written about food history for the press and edited Penguin’s Great Food series. She has recreated recipes from the past for BBC television and is the author of Dinner with Mr. Darcy, Tea with Jane Austen, and Dinner with Dickens. From the detail of the cover to the gold letter lining, I am obsessed. It is a cookbook that I want to both display on my shelves and also use constantly. Inside the cookbook contains many updated recipes for authentic 19th-century dishes along with excerpts from Jane Austen’s novels and photos.
Check out my blog post where I made one of the recipes from the cookbook!
