Whether adapted from original recipes of the period, replicated as seen or alluded to on screen, or typical of the time, all the recipes reflect the influences found on theÂ Downton AbbeyÂ tables. Food historian Annie Gray gives a rich and fascinating insight into the background of theÂ dishes that were popular between 1912 and 1926, whenÂ Downton AbbeyÂ is setÂ -a period of tremendous change and conflict, as well as culinary development.

Notes on theÂ etiquette and customsÂ of the times,Â quotes from the characters,Â and descriptions of the scenes in which the foods appear provide vivid context for the dishes.
