Be My Guest: A Banquet with Elizabeth I

By Jane Whitmore

Be My Guest is a culinary time-travel series that invites you to pull up a chair at history's most intriguing royal tables. In each book, you become the honoured guest at a carefully imagined banquet, stepping into the candlelight, music and whispered intrigue of a different court - starting with Elizabeth I and her glittering Tudor England.

Blending storytelling with food history, Be My Guest recreates the atmosphere of each feast: the layout of the table, the etiquette, the d cor, the aromas coming from the kitchens and the conversations that might have unfolded between courses. Alongside this immersive narrative, you'll find recipes inspired by original dishes of the era, adapted for a modern home kitchen (no live swans required).

Perfect for readers who love historical fiction, royal history and cooking, this series is designed to be both cosy escapism and a practical guide. You can simply enjoy the experience of being a guest at the banquet - or roll up your sleeves and bring a little taste of the past to your own table.

Take your seat. The candles are lit, the platters are ready... and your place at the royal feast is waiting.
