For generations, the Deegan family has loved Dickens, starting with Peachy's great-grandfather.  To this end, we were absolutely delighted to see that Ryland Peters is celebrating Christmas with Dickens in book form!

Previously on Whom You Know, we have formally worshiped Dickens:
Dickens also has many features in #QuotablePeachy and #AdvantageousAuctions

Hopefully we don't need to tell you that Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol and you might not know he also wrote Christmas Stories, another volume.
Beautifully executed in hardcover with gold holly and silver utensils to greet you, Christmas with Dickens is a delight from the start and illuminates your recipe collection with style and class.  From lobster to poultry to even cauliflower, this book spells delicious for the holidays and makes a great gift in addition to the fact that you need it yourself, you Whom You Know reader, lover of the classics!  From Gingerbread to the Smoking Bishop, this comprehensive work covers all edible aspects of celebration in the winter.

If you're like Peachy, you get your Christmas shopping done early!

Christmas with Dickens is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.





Seasonal recipes inspired by the life and work of Charles Dickens

No author is more closely associated with the food of Christmas than Charles Dickens, and with this collection you will be able to recreate classic Victorian dishes and drinks of the season, as featured in the writings of ‘the man who invented Christmas’.

From Mrs Cratchit’s plum pudding to Mr Pickwick’s 'mighty bowl of wassail', Charles Dickens's novels and other writings are alive with examples of good food being enjoyed in good company. In this selection of Victorian classics, updated for modern cooks, you will find old favourites for Christmas dinner such as roast goose and chestnut mince pies, plus recipes for entertaining, such as lobster patties and a Charlotte Russe. There’s even a recipe for a hand-raised pork pie to keep in the larder for unexpected visitors (or escaped convicts).
