More about The Secret History of Christmas Baking, by Linda Raedisch
Spice up your season by rolling, molding, and kneading your way through some of the world’s most iconic Christmas recipes. Interspersed with tales of sailors, saints, tomb raiders, and artisans, The Secret History of Christmas Baking proves that even the humblest holiday treat has a global backstory.
Did you know that the ancient Egyptians had their own version of gingerbread or that marzipan was once considered a pharmaceutical? Linda Raedisch dispels some long-standing culinary myths and delves into the darker chapters of the West’s centuries-long romance with sugar and spices. In addition to more than forty recipes for modern bakers, you’ll find illustrated instructions for dressing up your cakes and cookie plates with paper stars, angels, and witches. From Linzer tartlets to Christstollen, you can turn your kitchen into an Old World Christmas market stall.
If you are looking to dive into next month’s delicious read, in January we will be reading, TBD. Stay tuned…
