May 6 is National Crepe Suzette Day

Posted on May 6, 2015

DSC05301-1024x680

Today’s five things to know about Crepe Suzette

  1. The most common way to make Crêpe Suzette is to pour liqueur (usually Grand Marnier) over a freshly-cooked crêpe with sugar and light it.
  2. This will make the alcohol in the liqueur evaporate, resulting in a fairly thick, caramelised sauce. In a restaurant, a Crêpe Suzette is often prepared in a chafing dish in full view of the guests.
  3. The origin of the dish and its name is somewhat disputed. One claim is that the dish was created out of a mistake made by a fourteen year-old assistant waiter Henri Charpentier in 1895 at the Maitre at Monte Carlo’s Café de Paris. He was preparing a dessert for the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, whose guests included a beautiful French girl named Suzette.
  4. Different sources (like the Larousse Gastronomique) however doubt that Charpentier was serving the prince instead of the head waiter because he would have been too young.
  5. The other claim states Crêpes Suzette was named in honor of French actress Suzanne Reichenberg (1853–1924), who worked professionally under the name Suzette.

Fun Fact:

In the early days of the crepe, white flour was an expensive product, reserved only for royalty that why savory crepes were traditionaly made with buckweat , a esay to grow plant..

 Crepe is the French word for pancake.  Crepes differ from traditional pancakes in that they are lighter, thinner and are utilized in both sweet and savory dishes. 

Unlike pancake batter where some lumps are of no consequence, crepe batter must be smooth and more fluid, like the consistency of heavy cream.

  1. The first written record of pigs in a blanket occurs in Betty Crocker’s Cooking for Kids in 1957.
  2. Pigs in a blanket are also known as devils on horsebacks, kilted sausages, and wiener winks.
  3. In the United Kingdom, pigs in blankets are small sausages, or chipolatas wrapped up in bacon.

  5. You can combine these dishes by wrapping your sausage in bacon, then cooking them into a biscuit or croissant.

Fun Fact:

Pigs in a blanket are usually different from sausage rolls, which are a larger, more filling item served for breakfast and lunch in parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and, more rarely, the United States and Canada.

The name can also refer to klobasnek (a kind of kolache filled with sausage or ham slices). The German Würstchen im Schlafrock (“sausage in a dressing gown“) uses sausages wrapped in puff pastry, or, more rarely, pancakes. Cheese and bacon are sometimes present.

In Russia, this dish is named Сосиска в тесте (Sosiska v teste, “sausage in dough“).

May 3 is National Chocolate Custard Day

Posted on May 3, 2014

Chocolate-Custard-lead

Interesting Food Facts about Chocolate Custard

  1. Due to the fact that it is a very fine organic powder, custard powder is EXPLOSIVE!
  2. Custard is a variety of culinary preparations based on a cooked mixture of milk or cream and egg yolk.
  3. Depending on how much egg or thickener is used, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce (crème anglaise), to a thick pastry cream used to fill éclairs.
  4. The most common custards are used as desserts or dessert sauces and typically include sugar and vanilla.
  5. Custard bases may also be used for quiches and other savory foods.

Fun Fact:

 Frozen Custard must contain at least 10% butterfat and 1.4% egg yolk. Frozen Custard achieves its creaminess through a production process that produces less air (“overrun”) and fewer ice crystals than traditional ice cream. 

Some people believe that Cussy, the god of Custard, will provide them with endless wealth and wisdom provided they have at least a bowl of salted custard everyday

A Swedish restaurant used to take the skin off custard that had been left for too long and sold it to customers as their “Speciality pancake.” Surprisingly, nobody complained about it. In fact, the restaurant’s “Speciality pancakes” were their most popular dessert.
