Description
Jane Austen captured the fancies and foibles of Regency England – and every delightful page of this book celebrates the picnics, luncheons, dinner parties and glamorous balls of Austen’s world. At these social engagements, gossip reigned, love flourished and drinks flowed. Discover an exotic world of cobblers, crustas, flips, punches, shrubs, slings, sours and toddies, with recipes that evoke the past but suit today’s tastes. Raise your glass to ‘Sense and Sensibility’ with a Brandon Old-Fashioned, Elinorange Blossom, Hot Barton Rum or Just a Dashwood. Toast ‘Pride and Prejudice’ with a Cousin Collins, Fizzy Miss Lizzie, Gin & Bennet or Salt & Pemberley. Brimming with enlightening quotes from the novels and Austen’s letters and featuring beautiful photographs and period design, this intoxicating volume is a must-have for any devoted Janeite.
