Festive Cookery

From our family to yours! In 1951, Peter Pauper Press co-publisher Edna Beilenson compiled a book of recipes designed for holiday and at-home entertaining. Now weve delved into our archives to bring her classic collection back for aficionados of vintage cookery.

Includes nearly 200 updated recipes for retro dishes and perennial favorites, including Sherry and Crabmeat Soup, Standing Rib Roast, Yorkshire Pudding, Snappy Green Beans, Frankfurter Omelets, and Carrot Cake De-Luxe.
Each recipe is designed to be approachable but bold, allowing at-home cook to follow his or her kitchen intuition!
Includes Holiday and Special Dinner Menus, Hors d'Oeuvres, The First Course, Legumes and Salads, Meats and Poultry, Buffet Dishes, Party Breads, Cakes and Desserts, Festive Drinks, and a Recipe Index.
Charming original 1950s and vintage-style art throughout.
Create meals your guests will remember and enjoy a nostalgic trip back to your grandmother's kitchen!
