In need of a new recipe for your holiday table? Take some inspiration from the Gilded Age at The Frick Pittsburgh. Food writer and historian Becky Libourel Diamond introduces you to her book The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook that dives into recipes and their origins like true sugar plums, plum pudding, scotch shortbread, gingerbread, and other confections. After you hear about how these treats play into Gilded Age customs like Christmas trees, you’ll get to taste a selection of holiday cookies from the cookbook. And just in case none of these recipes make it to your cookie tray, you can always refer to our 50 holiday dessert recipes for more ideas.
