Jane Austen wrote her novels in the midst of a large and sociable family. Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances were always coming and going, which offered numerous occasions for convivial eating and drinking. One of Jane’s dearest friends, Martha Lloyd, lived with the family for many years and recorded in her “Household Book” over 100 recipes enjoyed by the Austens. A selection of this family fare, now thoroughly tested and modernized for today’s cooks, is recreated here, together with some of the more sophisticated dishes which Jane and her characters would have enjoyed at balls, picnics, and supper parties. A fascinating introduction describes Jane’s own interest in food, drawing upon both the novels and her letters, and explains the social conventions of shopping, eating, and entertaining in late Georgian and Regency England. The book is illustrated throughout with delightful contemporary line drawings, prints, and watercolours.

Authentic recipes, modernized for today’s cooks, include:
• Buttered Prawns
• Wine-Roasted Gammon and Pigeon Pie
• Broil’d Eggs
• White Soup and Salmagundy
• Pyramid Creams
• Martha’s Almond Cheesecakes

“The Jane Austen Cookbook has to be the best present, although this riveting book is far more than just that.”
–Nigella Lawson

From the Inside Flap

Jane Austen wrote her novels in the midst of a large and sociable family. Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances were always coming and going, which offered numerous occasions for convivial eating and drinking. One of Jane?s dearest friends, Martha Lloyd, lived with the family for many years and recorded in her ?Household Book? over 100 recipes enjoyed by the Austens. A selection of this family fare, now thoroughly tested and modernized for today?s cooks, is recreated here, together with some of the more sophisticated dishes which Jane and her characters would have enjoyed at balls, picnics, and supper parties. A fascinating introduction describes Jane?s own interest in food, drawing upon both the novels and her letters, and explains the social conventions of shopping, eating, and entertaining in late Georgian and Regency England. The book is illustrated throughout with delightful contemporary line drawings, prints, and watercolours.

Authentic recipes, modernized for today?s cooks, include:
? Buttered Prawns
? Wine-Roasted Gammon and Pigeon Pie
? Broil?d Eggs
? White Soup and Salmagundy
? Pyramid Creams
? Martha?s Almond Cheesecakes

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Entertaining!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2005

If you call yourself a Janeite then you must have this book! It is a great recipe book from the period with many that can be easily reproduced in your own kitchen. (How better to experience the times than to try to recreate a touch of it?) The commentary is interesting and useful and each author, I find, sheds some light on the life and times of Jane in a way that no one else has quite managed, and Ms. Black is no exception. I am just beginning my culinary jaunts using recipes from this book, and I have already highlighted a great deal of "Must tries". If you like cooking, experimenting in your kitchen, vintage recipes, or JA herself, you will appreciate this book.

Love this book! I was given a copy as a gift, and just knew that a friend of mine would love it too! (Given as a shower gift along with a set of mixing bowls, etc.)

As far as a Cookbook, it is not just a book of recipes, I found myself really learning a great deal- both procedural and anecdotally. Highly recommend for Janeites, Regency enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys a unique addition to their library!

Also-I did a bit of shopping around for this book. Amazon had BY FAR the lowest price. Just so you know!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book!

Very well written. It gives a good overview of the culture in which Jane Austen lived. How food was many times the defining mark of your status in the British aristocracy. Given the fact of little refrigeration in this era of time it is a miracle that more folks did not die of food poisoning! These folks enjoyed many different varieties of fruits and vegetables as well as meats. Very nostalgic.

WOW. This cookbook is so much more than a cutsie tribute to Austen and her works. The author, a culinary historian, thoroughly outlines the eating habits and customs of the day and provides recipes in the language of the era. So if you're looking for something both academic and entertaining, this is the perfect book. It's NOT just a quickly produced theme-based cookbook; it's the real deal!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining if You Love Old Recipes
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2012

The Jane Austen Cookbook offers some interesting preliminary pages with descriptions of meals, menus and manners of the era. After that it does an adequate job of giving the recipes for specific dishes along with the modern eqivalents for anyone who might want to tackle a late 18th or early 19th century recipe. It should be of interest to collectors of old cook books or fans of Jane Austen or the Regency period. In my opinion it is a bit short on information for the price; however I am glad I bought it.

This cookbook is charming. It has useful recipes in it, along with modern-day interpretations of the recipes, and interesting stories about food. It even explains how people preserved and bought food in Jane Austen's day. That is quite interesting, I love to learn more about lifestyles in different historical eras. It's not only a cookbook, it's a history book. It's worth it, you won't be disappointed!

I received a very good copy of this book, published in 1995, which, along with Maggie Lane's "Jane Austen and Food" (1995), Hilary Davidson's "Dress in the Age of Jane Austen" (2019), many other studies of Jane Austen, and critical editions of the novels, adds to one's appreciation considerably.
