- Synopsis
- A celebration of Yuletide food through the centuries. This mouthwatering book celebrates classic Christmas stories and their food and feasts. Each chapter covers a different era and the important foodie tales of time, including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Jane Austen&’s festive celebrations, and Christmas with Dickens. Claire Hopley rediscovers the joys of literary Christmases and the meals enjoyed by classic characters, including Harry Potter&’s Christmas at Hogwarts with its impressive display of food, his first-ever feast after years of being neglected, and the Grinch&’s failed attempt to ruin Christmas by stealing the Who-pudding in Dr. Suess&’s children&’s tale How the Grinch Stole Christmas. With 40 must-try Christmas recipes, including a pork pie inspired by the one Pip gave to Magwitch in Charles Dickens&’s Great Expectations, a Christmas Pudding recipe like those described in Anthony Trollope&’s Orley Farm, as well as a turkey curry based on Helen Fielding&’s Bridget Jones&’s Diary, this book is the perfect gift for people who love Christmas, its traditions, and its foods, as well as a must-buy book for foodie booklovers who want to know more about Christmas feasts in their favorite tales.
