DINING WITH JANE with Lise Rodgers

It is every woman’s dilemma. Guests for dinner – what to serve?

For Jane Austen and the women of her time, it was no different. Searching for recipes, gathering ingredients, arranging the table, preparing the food, serving it up … Using cookbooks of the period and of course Jane’s letters, let’s explore the world of Regency food.

LISE RODGERS is an accomplished Melbourne actress whose career has spanned stage, screen and radio. An interest in the world and characters of Jane Austen is the inspiration behind her series of ‘Jane’ performances.

We celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival 2012, in March 2012, with the addition of some other food-related talks alongside our official event.
