If you enjoy cooking, historical recipes, or historical romance, you’ll enjoy this cookbook from bestselling romance authors Lauren & Devon Royal!

Lauren and Devon’s Chase Brides series characters love to eat! And they do their research, so of course their characters eat period-appropriate foods. Lauren has collected dozens of antique cookbooks from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and over many years of trial and error, Lauren and Devon have learned how to make the recipes using modern methods.

In this cookbook, they share their very favorite historical recipes with you, two from each of their Chase Brides novels, along with excerpts from the scenes where their characters enjoy each dish. All of the recipes are easy to make, even for beginner cooks.

Each recipe includes the original text and the modern adaptation, with current measurements and cooking methods. And every recipe includes gluten-free alternatives!
