Description
Enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake with one of the world's favorite novelists Enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake with one of the world's favorite novelists Inspired by the novels and letters of Jane Austen, this collection of cakes, bakes, and pastries is based on authentic recipes from the Recency era, which have been fully updated for modern-day cooks. In Jane Austen's day, tea and cakes were usually served after dinner, or to evening guests, but these rolls, buns, tarts, and biscuits will be equally welcome at breakfast, with mid-morning coffee, or for an English afternoon tea. Recipes featured in the book include: English Muffins, based on the muffins served with after-dinner tea in "Pride and Prejudice"; Buttered Apple Tart as offered by Mr. Woodhouse to Miss Bates in "Emma"; and Jumbles, inspired by the cookies enjoyed by Fanny in "Mansfield Park". From Plum Cake and Gingerbread to Ratafia Cakes and Sally Lunns "Tea with Jane Austen" has all the recipes you need to create the finest tea time treats, and the original recipes are given alongside, so you can compare them and appreciate modern time-savers such as dried yeast, and electric mixers all the more!

The Perfect Austen Cookbook
I went looking for a Jane Austen cookbook and wasn't disappointed. I first became interested in this cookbook because I liked the cover art, then I actually peaked at some of the recipes and knew I needed to get it. This is the perfect cookbook to get you well on your way to throwing a fantastic Austen teaparty with the girls.

The 1st Recorded Use of the Word "Sponge-cake" Was by Jane Austen
It's a lovely little book that I accidentally ordered twice, so my best friend is sharing in the fun. No matter what she says, I'm Lizzie and she's Jane. She needs to accept that. Face it, girl! Anywhoo, the recipes are shown in both modern measurements and the ones used in Austen's days. There are intros to each to tie them into the various books. I can't wait to make the sponge-cake.

delizioso
Una approfondita ricerca di ricette antiche, dal 1747 al 1845, fra le quali, parecchie tratte dai quaderni di casa delle parenti di Jane Austen.Preparazioni di dolci per accompagnare il thè, classici che tutti conosciamo, e altri deliziosi non noti. In tutto il libro sono riportate le ricette originali e le versioni " attuali" corredate da belle foto. Ne ho già provate alcune: " i gingerbread", e " l' apple art". I riferimenti nelle opere della scrittrice sono riportati all'inizio di ogni preparazione. Scritto in inglese, ma facile da tradurre.Per gli amanti del rito del thè, per trovare ricette poco note e semplici, per i romantici fans della grande scrittrice.

A truly delightful little book!
What a delightful little book! Beautifully presented, and illustrated, it is something to treasure for many years. I'm not a baker, but I love cookbooks –ironic, I know– and this one is so small and light, I can browse through it without having to sit at the table.The recipe for hot chocolate is something I would make. It was served at a wedding breakfast that Austen attended.

An old-fashioned delicacy
This tiny book is a delight to look at and to use. It takes eighteenth-century recipes mentioned in Jane Austen's novels and updates them with modern ingredients and measurements. So far I have tried two recipes which both worked well and were easy to make. It would make a nice gift for anyone who likes baking and there are lots of yeast recipes for bath buns and other tea time treats. The book's small size mirrors the small canvas of Austen's books which she described as written on ivory - neat and finely honed. In all a treat for Austen and baking fans.
