The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook
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.Â

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 theÂ Downton AbbeyÂ tables. Food historian Annie Gray gives a rich and fascinating insight into the background of theÂ dishes that were popular between 1912 and 1926, whenÂ Downton AbbeyÂ is setÂ -a period of tremendous change and conflict, as well as culinary development.

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

The recipes areÂ 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.
