A cookbook to accompany many years of holiday celebrations. Mystic Seaport's Christmas Memories Cookbook contains 350 recipes contributed by more than 300 members and friends of the museum. Pen-and-ink drawings along with histories of Victorian holiday dishes and recipes suitable for gift-giving are scattered throughout the book. Block Island Turkey and Captain Cooke's Plum Pudding are only a sampling of the imaginative variations on classic New England dishes in this collection.
This is my favorite Christmas cookbook. My mom bought it in the 80s, and every recipe we’ve made was excellent. The The Reese’s Rival bars are our most favorite recipe.
