All great, no notes. Out of this book my all time favourite is ricotta with berries cake. Out of this batch I really liked sparkling ginger one, it tasted like Christmas in Europe :) I didn’t think I’d like it that much! My oven runs colder (calibrated, separate thermometer etc, it’s just how it is) but baking times are mostly accurate for my oven, I wonder if it means that for others it will be shorter baking times ?

Many, many moons ago, almost in another life Tatiana, the author, and I lived in the same place. She is a Paris Le cordon Bleu alumni, a food researcher and a speaker with a special interest in food in literature (she has a blog dedicated to it). She’s been researching it for well over a decade and had a few books published with serious publishing houses (not translated to English). I have some of her previous books.

I believe this is her first book in English, and it’s pretty self explanatory. I don’t think it will be interesting for non-fans of Jane Austen. It can be a good reference for those who like me enjoy Regency balls or dressing up with friends. It is very niche, and although it doesn’t have a huge food section, it is adorable for period literature fans. It’s available on Amazon. I’m not paid or even asked to praise the book. I asked the author’s permission to share photos of the pages in case if you are curious what’s inside and to make a better informed decision.

If you’re in Tbilisi, Georgia, she still does amazing themed dinners
