Online Events Calendar
One of the (few) bright spots of the pandemic is the number of virtual programs — talks, exhibits, tours, discussions, and more — available online, removing the requirement of in-person attendance. The Jane Austen/Regency world has a growing number of online events of interest to our community. We’ve set up this Online Event Calendar to help you find some of them. Please check the listings and be sure to convert the event times (which are local to the organizers) to your location. To submit an event for the calendar, email news@jasnanorcal.org Note: JASNA regional events are also listed on the organization’s web site: http://jasna.org/conferences-events/

Dining with Mr. Darcy: A Look at Georgian and Regency Food
December 5, 2020 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm EST
The 18th century witnessed a burgeoning population, the growth of the middle class, the rise of industrialization and a rapid consumption of new luxury goods. This extravagance also reached kitchens and dining rooms. Georgian tables groaned with succulent roasts, savory puddings, and luscious desserts. With a special focus on the writings of Jane Austen and food as presented in her novels, food historian, Carl Raymond will discuss what was and wasn’t served on Georgian tables and how it was cooked. He will explore new inventions in the kitchen and garden, and even what Jane and her family cooked and ate themselves. Most of all, this talk will consider what one might have encountered should one have had the coveted opportunity to share a meal with Mr. Darcy, himself!
