I LOVE vintage cookbooks and old community cookbooks. And I picked up ( second hand of course) a great cookbook called " Cooking with Shakespeare" This cookbook is dedicated "To all Shakespeare lovers...and especially to those actors, directors and producers of extraordinary talent and dedication who perpetuate his genius throughout the world.." I have not tried this recipe but it looks so interesting. In this great cookbook, here are recipes ( and quotes, drawings" for each play.
