The Shakespeare Cookbook

Sobre el libro The Shakespeare Cookbook de Andrew Dalby i Maureen Dalby publicado por British Museum al 2012:

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. Shakespeare himself used food in many of his plays: from memorable banquet scenes, to the use of food and feasting as metaphor. This fascinating book explores the plays alongside contemporary recipes to offer modern day cooks a unique insight into daily life and gastronomy in Shakespeare´s London.
