I loved it!
Perfect for fans of the Jane Austen novels as well as people who are interested in British cooking back in the author's day. An entertaining and easy read--or maybe even try some of the recipes. Examples of the content: "Miss Bennet's Dinner to Impress" (Pride and Prejudice) and "Jane's Family Favorites" (based upon letters written by Jane Austen. Great fun!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
