Through the glorious photography and settings you are drawn intothe nostalgia so evident in the Victorian scene. Moreover, itis in the text that you are gladly carried away to another timeand age which, sadly, has been set aside upon a shelf marked Christmas Only.The recipes are well worth the price of the book which is bound to garner yourfavor and loyalty when you choose to create not only a Victorian, but a gracious setting.
I was not disappointed with this book. Great photos that put me into the Christmas spirit almost immediately! Great recipes too! The cheddar cheese soup turned out wonderful this Christmas and I will certainly make it again throughout the year! Get this book!
This is another nice Victoria book. I have them all and enjoy going back to them over and over for inspiration.
Loved looking through the pictures and ideas. It was lying on a table in the den, and I noticed several people lookin through it.
Beautiful ideas!
Just okay
