THE AGE OF INNOCENCE by Edith Wharton (see our recipes in The Book Club Cookbook)įrom Whitney Scharer: “In the novel, Lee eats omelets with snipped tarragon, beef bourguignon, scalloped potatoes with gruyere, and oysters. It’s a meal that is perfect for meetings as it’s all prepared in advance and can be nibbled at leisure." I suggest a traditional British tea party, starting with thin cucumber sandwiches, then the scones served with jam and clotted cream (thick whipping cream will do), and finally various cakes. So I’m sticking to what Bella does best, and to the dish that brings her praise from the queen herself: her scones. New featured author menus are posted on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Ĭlick highlights for links to recipes and menus Aįrom Rhys Bowen: “In a story that revolves around food and a woman who becomes a chef for Queen Victoria you’d think it would be easy to come up with a menu pairing, wouldn’t you? However, most of the food that was served to the queen was so extravagant, so over the top, that nobody would want to cook it today-certainly not to go along with a book group meeting! Menus included real turtle soup (first catch your turtle), lark and blackbird pie, and creations that included venison stuffed with lobster and other unlikely pairings that would surely make us sick today.
