Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol: A Book-to-Table Classic (Puffin Plated)

A classic tale with beautiful illustrations and a full menu's worth of delicious holiday recipes. I want to make them all!

What a fun version of the classic A Christmas Carol. The photography is stunning and creative. The recipes are from the most popular chefs at this moment in time. This is one of those books that no one knows they want until they open the cover and turn the first page. Wish someone special a Merry Christmas with this book as your gift!

I will keep this on the living room table for everyone to looks at. I love it. Recipes and everything I wanted for a Christmas book.

Beautiful illustrations, quality binding, shipped quickly, this was a lovely seasonal gift for my daughter.

Not worth the recipes

I can’t begin to tell you how delighted I was to find CD’s A Christmas Carol, unabridged, and accompanied with such beautiful pictures and delicious recipes! Puffin Books has really hit the nail on the head by combining two of my passions: classic literature with cooking! I’ve already bought Pride & Prejudice, which is also in this “Book-To-Table Classic” series, and I can’t wait to see if more are added!

This is just a fun book if you are a collector of cookbooks or unique holiday items. (I collect both.) It is a pretty book with the verbiage of "A Christmas Carol," and recipes from Giada and Ina as well as others. I enjoyed it.

I bought this for a friend who has a collection of various versions of A Christmas Carol. The twist on this one is the inclusion of holiday recipes throughout the text. She loved it. Thank you!

Livre hardback tres beau dans une bibliotheque avec dd belles illustrations gourmandes... on a hate d etre a noel!

Gorgeous edition of the book . It's tied in with recipes but has the whole story. It's a large hardcover and festive

3 stars are because CHARLES DICKENS masterpiece is not to blame for sure! This story is one of the best of all times. I collect as much copies as I can, and it was to grow my collection that I purchased this one. Because it looked so scrumptious and I was looking forward to read the recipes, which are really disappointing... There are wonderful decorative biscuits in every page of this book, from the cover to the back, and not even one recipe for little gingerbread biscuits (cookies for americans) . Only one [strange] recipe of fruitcake cookies, which are maybe fabulous, but what about a Christmas pudding? What about a goose (replaceable with any poultry) or some {dickensian} recipe? Why decorating the whole book with gingerbread biscuits or gingerbread men if no recipe is given? This book is all about aesthetic and it works well. It's beautiful and would make a perfect Christmas present if the receiver is not too hard to please. It gives Christmas energy at first sight. But it's only eye catching. The book was probably a good idea to exploit but it was, alas, a sloppy work in my opinion. I won't say it is a bad book, that's not the truth. Just don't expect it to sound "Dickens". Don't wish for many recipes, it's more like a meny to accompany the story. It is just A Christmas Carol with a few recipes and many many photos to seduce you with food you won't be able to cook with the book! "CHRISTMAS WITH DICKENS" by Pen Vogler is BY FAR better than this one ! One of the best I read!
