Dining with
Mr. Darcy:
A Look at Georgian and Regency Food
with Carl Raymond
Tuesday July 21
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Join Royal Oak for a culinary romp though Georgian and Regency food history! The 18th century witnessed great changes in all forms of English social life: a burgeoning population, the growth of the middle class, the rise of industrialization and a rapid consumption of new luxury goods. This extravagance also reached kitchens and dining rooms. Middle-and-upper class Georgian tables groaned with succulent roasts, savory puddings, and luscious desserts. With a special focus on the writings of Jane Austen and food as presented in her novels, food historian, Carl Raymond will discuss what was and wasn’t served on Georgian tables and how it was cooked. He will explore new inventions in the kitchen and garden, and even what Jane and her family cooked and ate themselves. Most of all, this talk will consider what one might have encountered should one have had the coveted opportunity to share a meal with Mr. Darcy, himself.
