Take Me to Pemberley

Colleen Connolly-Ahern

Guest chef Colleen Connolly-Ahern shares three dishes from her recent book, “Make Book Club Lit Again.” Featuring Jane Austen’s book, “Pride and Prejudice” as its inspiration, Colleen demonstrates foods you can prepare for your gathering.

Colleen Connolly-Ahern is an associate professor of communications at Penn State University, where she teaches advertising and researches issues of social justice in international strategic communications.

Her work has taken her to more than 40 countries and introduced her to a wide range of characters and cuisines, many of which she shares in this book.

“Make Book Club Lit Again “brings together all the things Colleen loves best: good books, great food, social history, and connecting with wonderful people.

A self-proclaimed “cookbook junkie,” when she’s not grading papers, you can usually find Colleen in the kitchen of her lovingly restored mid-mod ranch, whipping up new recipes and generally making a mess for her extraordinarily tolerant husband to tidy up.
