Commentary Concering Books The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook (Downton Abbey Cookery)

The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook presents over 100 recipes that showcase the cookery and customs of the Crawley household—from upstairs dinner party centerpieces to downstairs puddings and pies—and bring an authentic slice of Downton Abbey to modern kitchens and Downton fans. 

Whether adapted from original recipes of the period, replicated as seen or alluded to on screen, or typical of the time, all the recipes reflect the influences found on the Downton Abbey tables. Food historian Annie Gray gives a rich and fascinating insight into the background of the dishes that were popular between 1912 and 1926, when Downton Abbey is set —a period of tremendous change and conflict, as well as culinary development.

With a foreword by Gareth Neame, executive producer and co-creator of Downton Abbey, and featuring over 100 stunning color photographs, The Downton Abbey Cookbook also includes a special section on hosting Downton-themed dinner parties and presents stills from across the TV series as well as the latest film. Notes on the etiquette and customs of the times, quotes from the characters, and descriptions of the scenes in which the foods appear provide vivid context for the dishes.

The recipes are grouped by occasion, which include breakfast; luncheons and suppers; afternoon tea and garden parties; picnics, shoots and race meets; festivities; upstairs dinner; downstairs dinner; downstairs supper and tea; and the still room.

Criticism Of Books The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook (Downton Abbey Cookery)

A treasured Christmas gift from my observant, loving husband. Food historian Annie Gray in The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook offers up not only a feast for the eyes and the palette, but a marvelous historical journey through the lives, the country homes, the foods, the kitchens, and the people who populated such places as the fictional Downton Abbey.Recipes abound for both the upstairs and the downstairs folk, with a historical background, notes, and clear directions for each of the more than

The Downton Abbey cookbook we all deserve and have been waiting for. Each recipe includes background information on the dish and how it connects to Downton. I was also appreciative that there were recipes for both "upstairs" and "downstairs." As someone who loves historical recipes, this book was great. The recipes are all vintage, but have been slightly updated for modern measurements.

I don't really like to cook but this book has a lot of historical backgrounds and commentary about British food and society that I found it interesting. I do like to bake and a lot of the recipes are for baked goods and sweets, so who knows?

An absolutely wonderful book for anyone-not just lovers of the movie and television series. This cookbook is based on the series, and features many recipes from the Edwardian era that would have been enjoyed by many. The recipes are well written and easy to follow, the photographs are wonderful. The best is the text explaining the history of the dish and how it was eaten or enjoyed. Many of the recipes include quotes, most dialogue between Daisy, the family members and Mrs. Patmore, which

Beautiful cookbook, awesome history and background. Probably not going to cook anything from it but it was lovely as a companion piece to the series/movie!

This was fun and I found some things to try. The backround that went along with each recipe was fascinating.

Although not all of the recipes appealed to me, the 10 or so that I tried were quite good. I especially liked the yummy pikelets (similar to crumpets), the chicken á la Paprika (which reminded me of a recipe I learned from a college roommate), the Italian way of cooking spinach, the Macaroni with a soufflé top (combination of a soufflé and macaroni and cheese, and toad-in-the-hole (a downstairs recipe that was fun to try).
