Jane Austin at Breakfast

 

and if you want recipes, Atlas Obscura has an article that includes recipes that were written down by her friend, and later housekeeper, Martha Lloyd.

 

In 1806, following the death of both Mr. Austen and Mr. Lloyd,...( Martha Lloyd joined Jane, her mother and her sister)...at Chawton Cottage in Hampshire, a medium-sized cottage on the grounds of brother Edward Austen’s large manor.
Now home to the Jane Austen museum, Chawton Cottage is where Jane either wrote or revised all six of her published novels.
It’s also where, for decades, Jane’s beloved friend and relative Martha Lloyd created her household book, a record of the family’s favorite recipes gleaned from published cookbooks and friends.

the article is long and includes some of her recipes.

 

here is a video of Chawton Cottage that includes showing the kitchen.
