The Downtown Abbey: The Official Cookbook Gift Set presents over 100 recipes that showcase the cookery and customs of the Crowley household - from upstairs dinner party centerpieces to downstairs puddings and pies - and bring authentic slice of Downtown Abbey to modern kitchens by including a gift-able apron that Downtown fans will love.
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 the Downtown Abbey tables. Food historian Annie Gray gives a rich and fascinating insight into the background of the dishes that were popular between 1912 and 1926, when Downtown Abbey is set - a period of tremendous change and conflict, as well as culinary development.
