The American Gilded Age (1868 to 1900) and its extreme extravagance
continue to be a source of wonder and fascination, particularly for
foodies. The style and excessiveness of this era has ties to modern
popular culture through books, films, and television shows,
including The Alienist and the new Julian Fellowes TV series The
Gilded Age, slated for release in 2022. Fellowes’ former series,
Downton Abbey, spawned a whole range of cookbooks based on the
show’s themes. The Gilded Age Cookbook will transport the reader
back in time to lavish banquet tables set with snow-white linen
tablecloths, delicate china and sparkling crystal glasses. Cuisine
featuring rich soups, juicy roasts and luscious desserts will come
to life through historic images and artistic photography by Heather
Raub, whose work has been seen via Zest Culinary Services, Pastry
Chef Bakery, LE’COEUR magazine and Malvie magazine. Gilded Age
details will be melded with historic menus and recipes updated for
modern kitchens. Organized into chapters highlighting themes from
the era, cooks will enjoy duplicating meals and gatherings from the
past while celebrating today. Now that people are socializing and
entertaining once again, this book will be a welcome addition to
their kitchens. Gourmets, history buffs and pop culture enthusiasts
will delight in learning about epicurean pleasures associated with
the Gilded Age, from ice cream socials and oyster roasts to
exclusive eating clubs and live food demonstrations presented to
packed auditoriums. Entertaining stories of Gilded Age celebrities
such as the Vanderbilts, Astors, Carnegies and Rockefellers will be
peppered throughout. Culinary roles for women and minorities became
more significant during this time frame, and innovative
technologies such as kitchen appliances and packaged food were game
changers. The splendid yet accessible and easy-to-follow recipes in
The Gilded Age Cookbook will take readers on a delicious journey
from a bygone era to the present day.
