MISS ELIZA'S ENGLISH KITCHEN

TO BECOME A TV SERIES

This one hasn't even been published yet (it is out this Autumn) but Annabel Abbs's Victorian novel of cookery and friendship MISS ELIZA'S ENGLISH KITCHEN has been nabbed by CBS for a TV series adaptation!

The book is out in bookstores this Autumn

The book tells the story of an English poet, Eliza Acton, who dreams of seeing her words in print. However, when she takes her new manuscript to a publisher, she’s told that “poetry is not the business of a lady.” Instead, they want her to write a cookery book.England in 1837 is awash with exciting new ingredients, from spices to exotic fruits, and that’s what publishers want from women. Despite never having cooked, Eliza is determined to learn. To assist her, she hires 17-year-old Ann Kirby, the impoverished daughter of a war-crippled father and a mother with dementia. Over the course of 10 years, Eliza and Ann develop an unusual friendship that crosses social classes. Together, they break the mold of traditional cookbooks, changing the course of cookery writing forever. Abbs was inspired to write the book after she inherited a collection of antiquarian cookery books
