A Christmas Dinner Details
Charles Dickens’ 1835 short work, “A Christmas Dinner”, lovingly describes many of the traditions, foods, games and festivities we still associate with Christmas. This meditation, included in his debut collection “Sketches By Boz” (1836) includes the beginnings of his ideas for “A Christmas Carol”, including a “misanthrope” who doesn’t join in the Christmas spirit, and an empty chair at the family dinner table (Tiny Tim). A holiday classic and a window into the nascent genius of Dickens.
Reviews
Who does not want to have a good dinner during christmas? This book is very unique with the recipes published, as well as its wonderful illustrations. The recipes are not very common, especially it dates back to 19th century christmas! However, the author does had the recipes well explained on how to make each menu. PS: Loves the beverages and desserts!
