I liked this cookbook but I'm not sure I'd make a lot of the things in it. I do like that it is based off of Bridgerton, though, so that gives it a little more pull.

This is a pretty little cookbook with recipes that people are likely to enjoy, but doesn't seem to be at all historically accurate. I collect vintage cookbooks and this one seems very modern but designed to seem old fashioned and suitable for a tea time or pretend feast. Ingredients and methods are not at all representative of the time. There are some photos, typically of the food presented on fancy china and such to fit the theme. No nutritional information is provided. Most of the recipes call for wheat and sugar, and many call for meat, so it will be less suitable for those on special diets. Tidbits about Bridgerton are used throughout.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

Overall, I really loved this cookbook. As a fan of the series from Julia Quinn I just loved the titles of each recipe. Everything I tried was amazing as well. The descriptions of each recipe were so detailed and written so well that I really felt like I could picture anyone of the characters enjoying them. A personal favourite of mine were 'Daphne's Dearest Crepe's', they have definitely become a quick and tasty Sunday morning staple! Really looking forward to sharing my excitement with my co-workers when it finally comes out. 5/5 Stars!!

ehh this is not my favorite. I admit I have only seen the tv show and been to the actual castle. I didnt care for nearly all of the recipees and i understand it was supposed to be food of the time. I think it could have been enhanced with more bridgerton quotes or stories as most recipees just wont be made.

I was just talking about how I can't wait until the next season of Bridgeton is here and now I may have to reread some of the books in anticipation when I stumbled across this gem! I was so excited to dive into The Unofficial Bridgerton Cookbook!

This book is packed with unique and interesting recipes along with regal introductions and suggestions fit for a Duchess. The recipes are more formal, definitely what you would expect of a cookbook dedicated to this era. Perfect for anyone wanting to host a Bridgerton brunch or it would make an incredible book club or cook book night!

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute recipe book for Bridgerton fans.

There's some nice pictures of the recipes and information about each. The recipes themselves are pretty straightforward, but honestly not stuff I'd regularly make. The recipes seem fairly accurate for the time period. There's some nice recipes for tea time or snacking.

Overall an interesting find.

If you have a Bridgerton fan in the family, here’s a perfect gift for them!

I am obsessed with trying out food from the books I’ve read and loved. I already got several, and this one will be such a nice addition to the collection.

The recipes seem great, easy to follow. The illustrations and the photographs were done really well. And the whole cookbook has a romantic, uplifting feel to it.

I really loved what they did with it!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of The Unofficial Bridgerton Cookbook in exchange for an honest review.

I think I am on the Bridgerton fan boat because as soon as I saw this I had to review it and test some recipes! I made the Cucumber Miniatures with the Lady's Clotted Cream and it was delicious! I also tested the Future-Securing Lobster Bisque and it was absolutely amazing. The pictures were absolutely beautiful and brought the cookbook together. I will defiantly purchase this one!

Wishing I was a member of Bridgestone society (no pun intended) I loved this cook book which is light fluffy and fun. Just so uplifting and with recipes that are so easy it makes it a worthwhile book to have on your shelf or a prefect gift for Bridgerton fans.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The Unofficial Bridgerton Cookbook.

I might be one of the last few people who haven't seen the show, but I love food porn so I was excited when my request was approved.

This is a fun cookbook filled with both easy and complicated recipes that require fancy schmancy ingredients typical for a ton with labor intensive steps you shouldn't attempt unless you have half a day to devote to it or a scullery maid to do the grunt work.

My favorite part was the factoids at the end of each recipes about a particular ingredient in the preceding recipe or a fact about the old timey fun timey past.

I wish there were more photos but that might change when the book goes to press.

This would be a cool gift for a Bridgerton fan though I can't see many home cooks attempting many of the recipes, unless its for a Bridgerton themed party.

This looks like a lovely book and I appreciate the thought behind it. I thought it would be regency recipes, maybe modernised to suit current tastes.

The recipes have been loosely linked to Bridgerton characters and to be honest it feels like cashing in on the name when there aren't any real connections but fine. There are some nice descriptive passages about society and the history behind regency period and the food.

Some of the recipes seem easy enough, there are a few that require some uncommon ingredients which would immediately put me off trying to make them.

My biggest criticism is that it is all in American measurements. It's about British regency but it's all in cups and Fahrenheit. I wouldn't be bothered to keep converting the measurements if I was trying to make some of these recipes. I think it needs to be duel measurements at the very least.

I love Julia Quinn. The food in this book was a little too fancy for my family but I still enjoyed reading through it.
