First sentence: Jack Aubrey is passionate about a great many things: ships, music, women; life in general-- and food in particular.  He has strong feelings about coffee, he is exuberantly devoted to his dinner, and he is never happier than when confronted with suet pudding in one form or another.
Description: Recipes based on Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, including such delights as Burgoo, Hard Tack, Clarissa Oakes's bridal dinner, Plum-Duff, Admiral's Flip, Grog, Solomongundy, Forcemeat for Raised Pies, and, of course, Lobscouse, and Spotted Dog.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 289-295) and index.
