About this book

Mrs. Charles Darwin's Recipe Book: Revived and Illustrated by Janeway, Weslie. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780980155730.

More than a cookbook, the Mrs. Charles Darwins Recipe Book delineates a lifestyle at the top of English society and intelligentsia at the time. This treasure trove that includes unlikely dishes such as Turnips Cresselly and Penally Pudding contains, even, another cook evident in the work: The recipe for boiling rice is in Charles Darwins own hand. The image of Darwin standing over a pot of boiling water with his pocket watch in hand, is one to savor, along with every other vestige of a lost kitchen and lifestyle come back to life here.
