Throughout her distinguished career, Elizabeth David wrote
and collected many articles about Christmas food. She put
together a file of these articles, recipes, and notes, and
even wrote an introduction, intending to publish them as a
book. It never appeared, and after her death in 1992, her
literary executor Jill Norman found a box with all this
material. She put them together as Elizabeth intended, and
Godine now has her "Christmas" edited for the American
reader, handsomely illustrated and ready to guide us
through the festive season with good food and high spirits. Beautifully written, this new edition contains around 150
recipes together with a selection of David's own articles,
plus other writings she found interesting and helpful over
the years. Feeding friends and family for Christmas can be
stressful, and this book is intended to help busy cooks
plan ahead and enjoy Christmas as much as their guests. The
classics are all here: turkey (of course), but also goose;
stuffings; sauces; mince pies; and Christmas puddings. For
the armchair cook, the text also provides information as
well as diversion: here are the actual traditions of
Christmas's past, as well as description of the yuletide in
other countries. In other words, a feast for mind and
table.
