“Household Book” of Jane Austen’s Favorite Recipes to be Published
Have you been dying to try Jane Austen’s favorite cheese toastie? Well, now you can. The cheese toastie recipe, among many others, will be published in a “household book” written between 1798 and 1830 by Martha Lloyd. Lloyd was a close friend of Austen’s, and she lived with Austen, her sister Cassandra and their mother for many years. Jane Austen loved Lloyd’s cheese toastie recipe, and she was also a big fan of Lloyd’s white soup, a recipe also included in the book. This white soup is mentioned in Pride and Prejudice by Mr Bingley, who says he will host ball at Netherfield, “and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough I shall send round my cards.” Additionally, this book includes a recipe for mead, Austen’s favorite drink, and also has the only surviving recipes written by Austen’s mother.
