The Shakespeare Cookbook indir kitap bedava

Dates and quinces, cakes and ale, ill potted eggs and wild boars roasted whole: Shakespeare's plays are full of references to food and drink. But how far do they represent the realities of daily meals in Elizabethan London?Shakespeare's working life, from about 1590 to 1615, was not only a period of rich activity on the London stage, but also one of prolific writing and publishing about food. From memorable banquet scenes, to the use of food and feasting as metaphor, Shakespeare himself often used food in much of his writing. Exploring contemporary re-imaginings of menus and recipes from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century cookbooks, this fascinating book juxtaposes Elizabeth and Jacobean cuisine against food-related quotes from Shakespeare's canon. Beautifully illustrated and featuring modern adaptations of forty recipes, this new cookbook reveals what people where eating at a time of social change, political parleys and the rise of the playwright. It is a unique and delicious insight into the early modern world as seen through the lens of Shakespeare's greatest works.
