The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook

Feeling festive but bored with the same old holiday cookies? Take a trip back in time with The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook! This isn't your grandma's cookbook (unless your grandma was a 19th-century socialite, that is). We've dusted off classic recipes from a bygone era—from the lavish Gilded Age and even earlier—and adapted them for your modern kitchen.
Each recipe is a deliciously fun history lesson. You'll get the scoop on the fascinating stories behind every cookie, cake, and candy, plus learn about the ingredients and baking methods of the time. Ever wondered what a real sugar plum is? (Spoiler: it's not actually a plum!) You've probably heard of them, but these sweet luxuries got left behind in the 20th century. Now's your chance to finally taste one!
 
Inside, you'll find chapters full of festive treats:
 
Cookies
Cakes
Pies, Puddings, and Custards
Candies
Hanukkah
New Year's Treats
