Synopsis

Inspired by Austen’s fiction and correspondence, this collection draws on authentic Regency recipes, carefully adapted for modern-day cooks. In Austen’s time, tea and cakes were often served after dinner or offered to evening guests, yet the rolls, buns, tarts and biscuits here are equally suited to breakfast, mid-morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Recipes include English Muffins linked to Pride and Prejudice, Buttered Apple Tart from Emma, and Jumbles inspired by Mansfield Park, alongside classics such as Plum Cake, Gingerbread, Ratafia Cakes and Sally Lunns. Original versions are shown alongside the updated recipes, inviting comparison and highlighting modern conveniences such as icing sugar, dried yeast and electric mixers.
