A recipe for nice thin gruel, perhaps?
USA Today (via Yahoo) tells us about a new book, Read It and Eat: A Month-by-Month Guide to Scintillating Book Club Selections and Mouthwatering Menus by Sarah Gardner, includes reading guides and menus to be used by book clubs related to 64 books, including Emma. What is the recipe associated with that novel, we wonder? We imagine something from Serle’s cookbook: asparagus and sweetbread fricassee, perhaps? Or maybe Miss Bates donated her recipe for baked apples. Either way, Mr. Woodhouse will be much distressed.
