History is fascinating, and most readers love to read about nostalgic subjects, especially connected to their personal history. Many of us love vintage recipes and the historical facts connected with them; some have been handed down for generations and have originated in foreign countries. Christmas traditions are often celebrated in families, and most likely have stories connected to them that are passed down from generation to generation. Becky Libourel Diamond has researched food through the gilded era and released a cookbook a few years ago. Now, she has released a wonderful cookbook filled with nostalgic recipes, stories, vignettes, and traditions from many places: The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook: Cookies and Treats from America's Golden Era . This is a delightful book that will have many readers curling up in a corner to enjoy reading this well-written book. The prose is fascinating, and the recipes are very appealing.

The recipes are easy to follow and include comments by the author, as well as a list of ingredients followed by step-by-step instructions that make it easy for anyone - beginners and veteran cooks – to successfully prepare the holiday recipes.

The book includes beautiful photographs that showcase many of the recipes, and includes colored pages with the stories. All told, this is an excellent book and will be a nice addition to a holiday cookbook collection. It would also make a nice gift for a cook.
