| | Description:
Celebrate the joys of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series in this cookbook, full of the food and drink that so often complement Jack and Stephen's travels. In these pages, you will find a wealth of authentic early-nineteenth-century recipes for foods such as Burgoo, Ship's Biscuit, Skillygalee, Drowned Baby, Sea-Pie, Figgy-Dowdy, Soused Hog's Face, Solomongundy, Jam Roly-Poly, Portable Soup, and, of course, Spotted Dog. With this book you can create a feast with Sucking Pig and Christmas Pudding, recreate Clarissa Oakes's bridal dinner, or learn how Jack's steward Killick might have made coffee. Recipes are accompanied by relevant quotes from the series text as well as extensive historical notes on the origins of the dishes and their names. Also included are instructive sections on the preparing of roasts, puddings, and raised pies. |
