The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook Signing with Author Becky Diamond
Friday, December 12th, 2025
The Colony House | Washington Square, Newport
3pm to 6pm | Book Signing Event
Although most Americans have heard of sugar plums thanks to the famous holiday poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore, many have likely never have had the pleasure of tasting one of these luxuries or even know what they really are (hint: they are not sugar-dusted plums).
With origins that date back to the nineteenth century and even earlier, the recipes featured in The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook have been adapted for today’s ingredients and appliances, allowing cooks to recreate them in their own modern kitchens. Each recipe will provide a colorful glimpse into the era, featuring the fascinating history behind every confection, its ingredients and baking methods. There will also be sidebars throughout, offering tidbits of Christmas lore of the era.
A perfect gift to bring sparkle to the holiday season for anyone who enjoys food, history, culture and Christmas traditions, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook is a unique way to revitalize any baker’s holiday repertoire while looking to past foodways for inspiration. With all the opulence and enchanting allure of the Victorian period, this nostalgic book is chock-full of delicious holiday treats.
Please join us at the Colony House on Friday, December 12th, from 3:00-6:00pm, where you can purchase a copy of The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook, meet the author, and sample some of the delicious treats from the cookbook!
