Fortnum & Mason也称为之一London’s most iconic department stores—first graced the world with a cookbook in 2016, when author and food criticTom Parker Bowlesgathered recipes from Fortnum’s kitchens to create a glorious collection of dishes, including the store’s famousGuinness-Spiked Welsh Rarebit.

Now, another Fortnum cookbook has arrived in the form ofFortnum & Mason: Christmas & Other Winter Feasts, which became available to Americans on September 24. Parker Bowles describes圣诞节和其他冬季盛宴as full of warm and comforting food that brings people together—and from what I've seen so far, it would make a great addition to your holiday cookbook library. In addition to recipes, the book also includes essays providing historical context to the holidays and traditions, with illustrations from the Fortnum & Mason archives.

As you flip through, you’ll find thecookbookorganized into distinct sections: Guy Fawkes (November), Glorious Game, Skating, Christmas Baking, Christmas Drinking,Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, “Waste Not, Want Not,” New Year’s Eve, and January Eating. A spin on the coveted Welsh Rarebit recipe (adding smoked haddock) lives in Christmas Eve, while Black Pudding on Fried Bread with Duck Eggs and Tomato Jam is in the “Waste Not, Want Not” section; however, there’s also departures from the classic British recipes you’d expect, such as the green smoothie in the January section. (A healthier section, in the spirit of the new year.) Parker Bowles told me that the book is meant to be enjoyed all over the world and thus, isn’t entirely British for that reason, with recipes that can be made with or without access to Fortnum’s products. (For the record, hereallyrecommends the rarebit.)

The book is available to order on Amazon now for $35, and you can also grab it at Williams-Sonoma, alongside several other Fortnum & Mason products—salted caramels and afternoon tea, anyone? Parker Bowles and Ewan Venters (Fortnum's CEO) told me that a third cookbook all about tea is on the way, which is fitting, as the department store offers customers over 150 varieties. In the meantime, there are plenty of otherfall cookbook releasesto get excited about too, fromAngie Mar’s屠夫+Beast, to a long-awaited ninth edition ofJoy of Cooking, which features over 600 new recipes. Good luck picking which one to buy first.
