Summary

“Veronica Hinke has taken a story that we all know so well and interwoven delicious recipes that are historic and old, but classic and worthy of any modern-day table. She has unearthed a vibrant culinary subtext that often left me breathless and dreamy-eyed. She skillfully captures the magical avor of a fascinating era in our history. Two spatulas raised in adulation.” (Chef Art Smith, James Beard award winner, Top Chef Masters contestant, former personal chef to Oprah Winfrey)

April 14, 1912. It was an unforgettable night. In the last hours before the Titanic struck the iceberg, passengers in all classes were enjoying unprecedented luxuries. Innovations in food, drink, and décor made this voyage the apogee of Edwardian elegance.

  • The true story of “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”

Interesting look back into the Titanic

I hadn't thought about a lot of the things in here, especially the food. It was interesting to revisit this tale and connect with some of the overlooked aspects. This really was a unique take with a lot of information.
