Timing Recipes in Margaret Cavendish’s Poems and Fancies (1653) 

Reading poetry alongside how-to literature, my project Seasonal Tastes explores England’s intertwined literary and recipe cultures to consider flavor, time, poetics, and climate in the early modern period. By taking poetic and practical discussions of the seasons as its central focus, this study intervenes in recent debates in literary studies, food studies, and the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies. This talk will provide an overview of Seasonal Tastes and, as a case study, consider the temporality of Margaret Cavendish’s recipe poems within the larger context of early modern recipe manuscripts.
