I really enjoyed this podcast, especially having recently finished both the book and the miniseries. Anything with caramelized onions is a dream come true for this foodie. So glad I discovered your site – so many inspiring recipes. If you’re interested in my own literary take on some food from this book, I blogged about it here: https://foodinbooks.com/2017/04/03/jonathan-strange-and-mr-norrell-by-susanna-clarke/
I’d love your feedback on my recipe, if you have time. Thanks and again, glad I discovered you!
