The author mined Austen's novels, letters, Martha Lloyd's recipt book, the receipt book from Edward Knight's estate, and the best-selling The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (1747) by Hanna Glasse, which was still wildly popular in Austen's time. The result is a wonderful cookbook, full of scrumptious recipes (measurements in cups & spoons and Fahrenheit) with historical information sprinkled throughout. These recipes look easy even for me.
