"I could not be more excited to have Becky Diamond's new book The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook. Not only does Becky share authentic, easy-to-prepare recipes from the era for our modern kitchens, but she infuses each recipe and all her work with a tremendous sense of the actual history behind dishes and food styles and trends curing the eras. With all of Becky’s work, you really can "taste the past"."
– Carl Raymond, host of The Gilded Gentleman history podcast
