The Shakespeare Cookbook by Andrew Dalby
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. This book explores the plays alongside contemporary recipes to offer insight into daily life and gastronomy in Shakespeare's London.
