 | Shame on Amazon Nov 1, 2009 |
| Alice Ross is responsible for over half this book, yet this site doesn't even provide a link to her name (though I have contacted them about it). The publisher cites her contribution as "menus and recipes", neglecting to credit that Ms. Ross provided commentary and historical context to the food and customs of the time. As a noted culinary historian and teacher, Ms. Ross brings great expertise, and knowledge. Without her work this would be merely an interesting literary gem. |

| A FUN DINING EXPERIENCE Dec 13, 2008 |
| 'A Christmas Dinner' is full of unique illustrations that bring the Christmas season of another time to life again. The recipes are wonderful and can once again become 'new'. I have a dear friend whose mission is to search recipes from the past and this book will, without a doubt be a perfect Christmas gift. |

I just loved the look of the book-- You could practically "taste" the yummie recipes-- mouth watering good. This is a great book for a Christmas gift-- you are giving more than a cookbook -- it is a piece of art-- fabulous illustrations.

| Since Charles Dickens really invented Christmas as we know it, I can't believe these recipes and things have just been unearthed! What a delicious find for all of us who want a uniquely beautiful and memorable holiday gift. It reads as good as it looks, yummy! |

| A Lost Classic Dec 5, 2008 |
| I had never heard of this work by Charles Dickens. It says that he was really young when he wrote it (23 years old), and I think that's pretty neat. The book itself is very attractive and the illustrations are great. I found it to be a solid book and a good Christmas gift for pretty much anyone. |
