Description
The Bloomsbury Cookbook: Recipes for Life, Love and Art A lavishly illustrated account of the food of the Bloomsbury set, this book summons up a lost world of meals on trays, milk puddings, gin slings and kedgeree. The story of the Bloomsbury Group is told in seven chapters, each comprising narratives, recipes, sketches, paintings, photographs, letters and handwritten notes, featuring original quotations throughout. Part cookbook, part social and cultural history, this book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who gathered at the dining tables of the early twentieth century's most influential figures. With its rich collection of recipes and historical context, it will appeal to both foodies and literature lovers alike. This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of art, literature, and cuisine in the early twentieth century, presented in a beautifully illustrated format that brings the past to life.
