{"product_id":"the-jane-austen-cookbook","title":"The Jane Austen Cookbook","description":"\u003cp\u003eJane 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 Janes 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 todays 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 Janes 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 todays cooks  include:  Buttered Prawns  Wine-Roasted Gammon and Pigeon Pie  Broild Eggs  White Soup and Salmagundy  Pyramid Creams  Marthas Almond Cheesecakes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984039211061,"sku":"ByrdShop_0771014171","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780771014178.jpg?v=1770881117","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jane-austen-cookbook","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
