The chapters include both analysis of plays and poems, as well as updated historical recipes ready for cooking. Nicosia prepares the recipes that permeate the canon--from Falstaff's beloved capons to the cakes that invite festivity in \u003ci\u003eTwelfth Night\u003c\/i\u003e--demonstrating how the physical act of cooking can transform our understanding of once familiar texts, and asking what we can learn about food history by recreating historical recipes with twenty-first-century ingredients and tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare in the Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e is an original and fascinating read for anyone interested in Shakespeare, Renaissance England, Early Modern literature, history, food studies, and the history of food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarissa Nicosia\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Renaissance Literature at The Pennsylvania State University-Abington College, USA.
