I have more on my plate than usual, hence the #historicrecipes are becoming rarer. Today, venison pastry from Staindl's 1547 cookbook and a fifteenth century parallel.

If you've got a craving for fish, there are a few Saginaw establishments that come to mind--but at the top of that list is undoubtedly Sullivan's on Gratiot. #historicrecipes https://loom.ly/0zD-Tpw

Today's recipe is a 'white' custard tart from the collection of Philippine Welser (c. 1550). Interesting topping, sort of a proto-meringue.

The average American consumes roughly 71 pounds of ketchup annually, on everything from fries to (gasp) steak--and undoubtedly, we have the Heinz Company to thank for that--but did you know that Heinz also has a Saginaw connection?...#historicrecipes https://loom.ly/A0g2eco

I'm back from my holiday and can resume my posting of #historicrecipes. Today, it's a staple of German #medieval cuisine: Black sauce for fish, specifically carp.

#culinaryhistory #foodhistory #medievalsky #earlymodern #cookingwithblood
This is very emphatically not carp in black sauce, but a 5-4-3-2-1 berry cake I made for my hosts while travelling. The topping is a mix of storebought and gathered berries. They are placed on a layer of vanilla custard ('Vanillepudding') and held in place by being topped with sweetened gelatin ('Tortenguss'). The base is a child-friendly quick mixture of 5 tablespoons of flour, four of sugar, three whole eggs, two tablespoons of oil, one of vinegar, and a teaspoon of baking powder. More complex methods produce superior results, but this is quick, easy, and foolproof. Such are the delights of summer when travelling with an eight-year-old

Grab your cowboy boots because the CTK is hitting the road and headed way down yonder to the once tiny town of Saginaw, Texas. As you read through the tale of our Texas namesake, chop up some veggies for a festive dip to serve up alongside your next BBQ. #historicrecipes loom.ly/0oaQ3r8

Inspired by Edwardian holiday tables — where cakes were simple, spiced gently, and shared slowly.
This Christmas loaf belongs beside tea, candlelight, and conversation 🕯️

A Christmas loaf from another time — tender, lightly spiced, and finished with a snowfall of sugar. This Edwardian recipe belongs beside evergreen branches, teacups, and lingering conversations.

And just to whet your appetite, here's a 1810s #recipe we haven't yet had a go at ourselves: lamb pie with potatoes, candied peel, artichokes, raisins and sweetened meatballs, topped with a sweet egg/wine sauce. Any #foodies up for a challenge?

#historicrecipes #history #archives
A hand written recipe for "A very fine sweet lamb pie". Typed transcription of the recipe: A very fine sweet lamb pie. Cut your lamb into pieces and season it with pepper, salt, cloves, mace & nutmeg, all finely beaten. Make a good puff paste crust, lay it into your dish then lay in your meat; strew on it some stoned raisins & currants clean washed & some sugar; then lay on some forced meat Balls made sweet & in the summer some Artichoke bottoms boiled; & scalded grapes in the winter. Boil Spanish potatoes cut in pieces, candied citron, candied orange & lemon peel & three or four blades of mace, put butter on the top close your pie & bake it.  Have ready against it comes out of the oven a caudle made thus: take a pint of white wine & mix in the yolks of three eggs. Stir it well together over the fire one way, till it be thick then take it off; stir in sugar enough to sweeten it & squeeze in the juice of a lemon pour it hot into your pie & close it up again; send it hot to table.

Some #historicrecipes are obscure, enigmatic, incomplete, or so poorly written they are near impossible to interpret. This one is scrambled eggs, but in 1547.

Today's recipe has remarkably detailed instructions for making an elaborate fish jelly (a galantine). I will be off to a medieval feast, so this is the last one for a few days.

Shishbarak is a portal, you can travel to Lebanon in a blink…
It is a dumpling usually lamb or beef but my vegetarian soul chose cheese, un a smooth and tart yogurt soup.
I’ll post the recipe soon.
