The whole Regency Fiction Writers conference had excellent presenters.
I loved when you talked about the potential for power dynamics at the dinner table. In my YA WIP, a foreign girl is intensely aware of certain people scrutinizing how she eats , what she eats, and what she doesn’t eat.

The Jane Eyre seed cake recipe from A Gothic Cookbook is so good. I was delighted when @alessandrapino.bsky.social asked me to make it for her talk 'A Gothic Feast' in Haworth at the weekend. And it went down a treat. You remember Eddie Izzard did "Cake or death?". This is "Cake and Death". 🍰💀
