Shakespearean cookery for today's cook. "Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast." -- William Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors Act iii, Sc. 1 Packed with recipes and winsome lore, Eating Shakespeare is a pleasure to be savoured by lovers of food and wine, literature and history. It mixes Elizabethan culinary anecdotes with recipes adapted for today's kitchen. To add to the fun, the original recipes appear right beside their delectable modern equivalents. You'll find Pottage of Cherries, Polonian Sausage, Pepper Gingerbread, Coddling Pies, and other gastronomic delights inspired by Shakespeare's time. A brilliant concoction of aroma, flavour, and colour, Eating Shakespeare is a must-read for anyone who aspires to feast in proper Elizabethan style. Novel in its focus and historical and humorous in its approach, the authors have produced a cookbook with recipes that are appealing and that work.
More of what's inside: * Ingredients to stock your Elizabethan pantry * Recipes for soups, salads, stews, vegetable side dishes, meat and fish entrees, pies, tarts, puddings, gingerbread and other sweetmeats, as well as preserves, and beverages * Period table setting and dining customs * Inspired quotes, Shakespearean insults, and anecdotes
