Friday's Literary Feast

Quotes from The Virago Book of Food: The Joy of Eating

JANE AUSTEN

FROM HANS PLACE TO CASSANDRA AT CHAWTON

17 October 1815

I am glad the new cook begins so well. Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness.

Isn't it just, Vicki! I wonder if the Austen household ever had their pie with ice cream? Something to investigate...
