In the fevered and romantic imagination of most Jane Austen lovers, balls mean music, dancing and perhaps even a little romance. To the gourmet, however, balls also mean good food.

In the next in our series of cookery in the days of Jane Austen, the food writer, Hattie Ellis, prepared Anna McNamee a dish guaranteed to put extra 茅lan into any dance step - White Soup.
But first Anna met with the Austenian scholar Deirdre Le Faye to find out why the food was as important as the dancing.
