Hold your own sumptuous feast!
We've selected a very special menu for your book club gathering. Plus, you can download drinks coasters and even give your book club members a bookmark to take home!
In addition to these recipes why not consider serving other foods from the time period at your book discussion. For example, look up recipes on food.com or epicurious.com for potted fruit or gingerbread, both of which are served at Jacquetta’s wedding to the Duke of Bedford (p. 41). When hiding from soldiers at a blacksmith’s house, Jacquetta muses, “they have a corner of black bread made with rye, they have never tasted white bread” (p. 329).
Serve a luxurious white bread next to a hearty, dark bread to symbolize the great divide between the nobility and the peasantry.
You could even change the wine label to read 'The Lady of the Rivers'.
Enjoy!
