Description:
If you're a fan of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, you'll love A Christmas Carol Cookbook, a slim volume stuffed with authentic English recipes. The book is divided into four sections; the first, "Tea with Marley's Ghost", is a delectable collection of tarts, trifles and sundry sweets--exactly the kinds of food that old Ebenezer Scrooge might have snacked on with his cup of tea. In "The Ghost of Christmas Repast", the recipes turn to plentiful holiday meals featuring fish, meat and fowl. Sample, for instance, Tiny Tim's Mini Shepherd's Pie, Martha's Mustard-Encrusted Leg of Lamb or Horn of Plenty Potted Shrimp. The Ghost of Christmas Presents offers plenty of gift ideas featuring preserves, candies, vinegars, and relishes such as Humbug Lemon Curd and Master Peter's Pickled Vegetables, while The Spirits of Christmases Yet to Come finishes off the book with recipes for the likes of Ebenezer's Eggnog and Merry Christmas Ale. In addition to its charming recipes, A Christmas Carol Cookbook also contains photographs from one of many film versions of Dickens's classic, as well as short excerpts from the novel. For a little bit of Victorian Christmas cheer, you won't do better than A Christmas Carol Cookbook--a book even Ebenezer Scrooge could love. God bless us, every one!
