Success Author's Corner with Becky Diamond- Gilded Age Cookbook

This show is presented by Heather Barnes, the leading food photog in the South.

Becky Diamond graces our studio talking about her latest book- The Guilded Age Cookbook.

Delight guests this holiday season with rich tasting recipes and decorating suggestions from the famously extravagant Gilded Age with Becky Libourel Diamond’s The Gilded Age Cookbook:
Recipes and Stories from America's Golden Era. In it, Diamond includes recipes for classic holiday fare such as roast turkey, as well as more unique entrees like deviled spaghetti; historical facts about 19th century celebrations; and stunning photos.

“The food served on Christmas Day was supposed to be rich, frivolous, delicious, and appealing to both children and adults …” Diamond wrote in the book. “As a result, Christmas dinner was one of the most carefully planned meals of the year for Gilded Age women.”

Throughout The Gilded Age Cookbook, Diamond dishes up a masterful blend of recipes for timeless favorites, decorating tips, and fun facts that both history buffs and foodies will appreciate. Chapters cover Culinary Innovations, Outdoor Eats, Dining Out, By Invitation Only, and of course, Holidays.
