FOREWORD

One of my abiding childhood memories was the digging up and bringing in of the

Christmas tree (this was in the days before the roots were habitually cut off). It

would later be replanted in a grove of past holiday trees at the end of the kitchen

garden. Of course, in those days, Christmas did not begin until Decemberlate in

Decemberbut when it did, it was the most wonderful time of the year.

We made five Christmas specials for Downton Abbey , each a feature-length

episode with its own story arc.They all contained crucial plot points for the overall

story but also allowed us to meet new, sometimes one-off characters and experience

the wider world of Downton. Some will remember them best for such momen-

tous events as Matthews snowbound proposal to Mary; the birth of Matthew and

Marys son, George; or Matthews death.Others will remember the release of Anna

from prison and her reunion with Bates; the birth of Ediths daughter, Marigold;

or the departure of Tom and Sybbie for America. But around these deeply moving

scenes we also see the future Edward VIII saved from scandal, we shoot grouse in

the Highlands, and we dance with the bright, young things in the beautifully lit

ballrooms of the London season.

Christmas would be nothing without its food, of course, and indeed its drink.

Flemish food writer and culinary historian Regula Ysewijn has brought to life not

only the dishes of the Downton era but also some of the magnificent edible delights

of earlier centuries. It is a brilliantly researched book full of tasty treats. I do hope

you enjoy it.

A DELICIOUSLY

DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS

Christmas may be a wonderful time of the year, but its also one of the most nostalgic.

Its easy to believe that Christmas has never changedthat weve always eaten

turkey and roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts and plum pudding, mince pies and

Christmas cake. But I suspect that if you arent British, you will be frowning even

reading these words.

Every country, every family has its own way of celebrating Christmas. One

familys sacrosanct tradition is anothers worst nightmare. The British love of dark,

fruity flavors goes back to the medieval period, but even in Britain, more and more

people are turning to cheesecake or chocolate to end their yuletide feast.Traditions

change, and it turns out that even Christmas hasnt always been the same.

In The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook ,I showcased some of the popular dishes

from 1912 to 1930. Those who are familiar with the book will know that the food
