Welcome to Litsy!

Jane Austen wrote & published most of her works during the Regency Period (1811-1820) & this book gives us a snapshot of the type of food that those who were quite well off would have been eating in this period. With recipes taken from the time, alongside quotations & short sections on different aspects of Georgian dining, this is a pleasant accompaniment to Austen's novels.

This is a collection of recipes inspired by the novels and letters of Jane Austen, adapted by the author into contemporary versions. A few friends got together to celebrate all things Regency, Romance, and with comestibles selected from the book recently, and we cooked Bath Buns, Herb Pie, Spiced Mushrooms, Venison (substituted with beef) in White Wine, Buttered Apple Tart, and my contribution, Mrs Austen‘s Pudding. ⬇️

Both books are pretty and nice. Tea with Jane Austen seems to be a smaller version of 'Dinner', with the same recipes, only the ones involved with 'tea' being picked up. #PemberLittens

I found my Mr Darcy cookbook, it wasn‘t packed! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

And just in time to look up the white 🥣 mentioned in Chapter 11, apparently a creamy chicken soup that is a highlight of ball suppers. This recipe uses veal bones, a boiling fowl with giblets, ham, and anchovies. #PemberLittens

I‘ve just realized I packed my Dinner With Mr Darcy book along with my other cookbooks. NOOOO!! 😫#PemberLittens

So I just realized this book has a chapter for each Austen novel. I‘m diving in immediately!

Thanks to @JenlovesJT47 whose post reminded me I also have some Austen themed recipes!

These recipes are inspired by Jane Austen‘s letters + novels. Many of the recipes are reworkings from cookbooks from that time. For each section, she includes excepts from Austen‘s letters/novels.

This is a lovely cookbook with a cloth cover, thick matte pages, + numerous color photos. There are informative two pages descriptions on things like mealtimes (General Tilney), servants, table arrangements. The best recipes are the deserts and breads.

These Cherries 🍒 en Chemise are inspired by the dried cherries Mrs. Jennings offers the broken hearted Marianne.

These are Baked Compote Apples. The Bates‘ twice-baked apples 🍎 would have been left for 2-3 nights in a baker‘s cooling brick oven, but these can be made in a conventional oven.

A cookbook based on the works of #janeausten ? Yes please. Combines my two best loves of books and food.
.
Which got me to thinking, what book you love would make for a terrible recipe book?.
.
The fall of the soufflé of Usher? The Tell-tale Tart? Fear and Lemoncake in Las Vegas? Of Mice and Meringues? Let me know your tasty offerings ?.

Wow!!! 😍😍😍 @Avanders you have really spoiled me. I love all the books selections....the Choose Your Own Adventure looks so fun.👍🏻😃 That cup!! 😂👨🏻‍⚖️👰🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ Mr Darcy will fit right in with my other Austen funkos! I can‘t wait to try out the cookbook and tea, and when I bought those socks for my swap partner, I almost got a pair for myself (but didn‘t)! And I can‘t wait to #audiocolor! Thank you so much for everything!!

First book purchase here! I‘ve been wanting this book for a long time, but was never willing to part with $24. Found this copy brand new for €4.99!

This is a great collection of fun recipes based on and inspired by the works of the great Jane Austen.
