Product Description
Charles Dickens penned this sketch in December, 1835 as his conception of an ideal Yuletide gathering. Dickens, who may have invented the modern notion of Christmas, had lively ideas about what a family Christmas should be---down to how preparations should be shared, what dainties might be served and what should be part of a Christmas Day Feast.This book is enriched with the Christmas menus devised and recipes (some from the Dickens household) adapted for contemporary cooks by distinguished culinary historian, Alice Ross, as well as with an introduction by Dickens' most important living biographer and prize-winning novelist, Peter Ackroyd. Also included are 16 original and historically accurate paintings by the talented young artist, Sharon Stein.

A FUN DINING EXPERIENCE December 13, 2008
Giampaolo Fallai (NEW YORK)
'A Christmas Dinner' is full of unique illustrations that bring the Christmas season of another time to life again. The recipes are wonderful and can once again become 'new'. I have a dear friend whose mission is to search recipes from the past and this book will, without a doubt be a perfect Christmas gift.
Mouth Watering December 9, 2008
Kari Marion
I just loved the look of the book-- You could practically "taste" the yummie recipes-- mouth watering good. This is a great book for a Christmas gift-- you are giving more than a cookbook -- it is a piece of art-- fabulous illustrations.
A Christmas Dinner December 6, 2008
Golden Dove (USA)
Since Charles Dickens really invented Christmas as we know it, I can't believe these recipes and things have just been unearthed! What a delicious find for all of us who want a uniquely beautiful and memorable holiday gift. It reads as good as it looks, yummy!
A Lost Classic December 5, 2008
T. P. Sutin (Mesa, AZ)
I had never heard of this work by Charles Dickens. It says that he was really young when he wrote it (23 years old), and I think that's pretty neat. The book itself is very attractive and the illustrations are great. I found it to be a solid book and a good Christmas gift for pretty much anyone.
Dickens Dishes December 5, 2008
Sammy (New York, NY)
I think this is a really cool book. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. I came acrossed it when I was looking for Dickens Christmas stories for a project, but what struck me was all the extras. It has food essays, cultural analysis and a bunch of recipes, for really good sounding holiday dishes that I've never heard of before. I can't really cook to save my life but, I have some friends that can and love to throw themed dinner parties. I am definatly gifting them this book this year.
