In Shakespeare's plays and poems there are no less than 2,000 culinary references. The Food of Love comprises a delicious selection of dishes adapted and updated for the contemporary kitchen, from 16th Century English cookery books and recipe collections, together with anecdotes and explanations from the Bard’s plays. Readers will be able to prepare modern versions of dishes and meals that Shakespeare himself may have enjoyed some 400 years ago.

Beautifully presented, The Food of Love gives information on seasonal celebrations and foods including soups, salads, fish, meat, sweets, bread and cheese and the culinary use of flowers and beverages. In addition, the explanations of culinary techniques and simple cooking methods will help to bring more pleasure to kitchen tasks.

The Food of Love is a hardback, 160 page, full colour book. Design and photography by Graficas Design, with over 80 photographic images of the recipes. It is available to purchase online - please click   HERE
