COOKING WITH SHAKESPEARE is part of the 'Feasting with
Fiction' imprint and details recipes, table habits, dining and
festivities in Shakespeare's times ala his plays and writings.
Chapters are divided by food type--mutton and lamb, fish and seafood,
vegetables--and provide tips on old-fashioned cooking from Shakespearean
times, from how to make Gallantine to making spice cakes. A rich, fun
survey of early cooking methods and recipes evolves for modern readers
and libraries interested in culinary history.
