Although most Americans have heard of sugar plums thanks to the famous holiday poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore, many have likely never have had the pleasure of tasting one of these luxuries, or even know what they really are (hint: they are not sugar-dusted plums). This is because sugar plums are one of the Gilded Age era holiday sweets that got eclipsed as America moved into the twentieth century. But The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook will bridge the past and present, bringing back sugar plums and other confections not typically found in modern cookbooks, while revisiting some beloved favorites.
With origins that date back to the nineteenth century and even earlier, the recipes in The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook have been adapted for today’s ingredients and appliances, allowing cooks to recreate them in their own modern kitchens. Each recipe will provide a colorful glimpse into the era, featuring the fascinating history behind each cookie, its ingredients and baking methods. There will also be sidebars throughout, offering tidbits of Christmas lore of the era.
A perfect gift to bring sparkle to the holiday season for anyone who enjoys food, history, culture and Christmas traditions, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook is a unique way to revitalize any baker’s holiday repertoire while looking to past foodways for inspiration. With all the opulence and enchanting allure of the Victorian period, this nostalgic book is chock-full of delicious holiday treats.
I absolutely love everything about these stems. The quality is beyond any I have seen out there. The color is rich muted and vibrant all at once. It is the perfect color for early Fall transition. But besides the color and price, the best thing about these stems is their moldability not only are the stems easy to bend and mold, but so is each leaf. So if you are someone who is not good at putting arrangements together like me, then you'll love these stems.
Don't let the price fool you,the quality is there and in my opinion they are under priced.
I have tried to add faux plants to my home before but ended up returning them. This Thyme Topiary is perfect. I describe as petite but tall providing a finishing touch in kitchen. I am going to order another one for the other side of counter.
