Michelle Berriedale-Johnson and Christopher Driver drew on Samuel Pepys's diary comments about the meals he enjoyed to put together a seventeenth-century cookbook for the modern cook, adapting period recipes so they can be prepared today. The book also shows how to recreate a Pepys Feast of up to fourteen dishes, such as Green Pea Tart, Capon with Colliflowers, Stewed Venison, Syllabub and Double Codlin Tart, with music to accompany it. Readers follow Pepys to market, to the tavern and into his own kitchen and dining room.
