Boston Cream Pie - The name Boston Cream Pie is believed to be a misnomer as it's really a cake.  The "pie" instead of "cake" may be due to the fact that colonists used to bake their cakes in pie tins as they did not own cake pans.  The first reference to Boston Cream Pie was when a New York newspaper in 1855 ran a recipe for a 'pudding pie cake'.  This recipe, however, had a powdered sugar topping not the chocolate glaze it now has.  Then in 1856 a man named Harvey D. Parker opened a restaurant in Boston called the Parker House Restaurant.  On the menu was a 'pudding pie cake' but it had a chocolate glaze not the powdered sugar topping of the original recipe.  This is the cake we know today and the name 'Boston Cream Pie' is probably a combination of the first 'pudding pie cake' recipe and the fact that Boston is the place where the chocolate glazed version originated. Boston Cream Pie - Namnet Boston Cream Pie tros vara en felaktig beteckning eftersom det är verkligen en kaka.

Den första hänvisning till Boston Cream Pie var när en New York-tidningen i 1855 körde ett recept på en "pudding pie kaka".

På menyn var en "pudding pie kaka" men det hade en choklad glasyr inte strösocker toppning av den ursprungliga recept. Detta är den kaka vi vet i dag och namnet "Boston Cream Pie" är troligen en kombination av de första "pudding pie kaka" recept och det faktum att Boston är den plats där choklad glaserat version har sitt ursprung.

Det är bäst visas när serveras i en lång berodde parfait eller ett glas vin, garneras med färska frukter. "Fool" tros ha sitt ursprung i det franska ordet "foul er" som betyder "att mäsk" eller "att trycka".

I first read about fruit fools in Helen Saberi and Alan Davidson's book "Trifle".  In their discussion on the history of trifles they tell us that early trifles resembled "fools".   Early fools were thickened with eggs and cream, and sometimes wine and spices were added.  Some fools didn't contain fruit at all and were more like a custard.  But somewhere along the way it was realized that eggs, wine and spices were not needed to enhance the flavor of the fresh fruit and cream...

Frozen Fruit Pops - Although the first frozen fruit confections on a stick (called the "Hokey Pokey") were sold as early as 1872, it wasn't until 1923 that they became well known.  That year a man named Frank Epperson applied for a patent on the first frozen fruit on a stick, called the "Epsicle".  As with many inventions, the Epsicle came about by accident on a cold New Jersey morning.  It seems that Frank Epperson had made a glass of lemonade from a prepared powder and had accidentally left the glass, with a spoon in it, on the windowsill overnight.  The next morning he discovered that the lemonade had frozen into a solid mass.  After running the glass under hot water he removed the frozen lemonade from the glass by holding onto the spoon, and it was then he realized he had a new invention.  Once the patent for his "Epsicle" was issued he did sell it to the Joe Lowe Corporation (now called Popsicle Industries) who renamed the frozen fruit on a stick the "Popsicle"....

Nästa morgon upptäckte han att lemonad hade fryst till en fast massa. Efter att ha kört glaset under varmvatten han bort den frysta lemonad från glaset genom att hålla på skeden, och det var då han insåg att han hade en ny uppfinning.

Gingerbread - There are two major styles of gingerbread: a moist and spicy sweet cake or a cookie that is usually molded or shaped into a figure.  In both cases we seem to enjoy this dessert mainly during the fall and winter, especially around the holiday season. Pepparkakshuset - Det finns två större stilar i pepparkakor: en fuktig och kryddig söt kaka eller en cookie som vanligtvis är gjuten eller formats till en siffra. I båda fallen vi verkar njuta av denna dessert främst under hösten och vintern, särskilt kring julhelgen .

The Crusaders are credited with bringing gingerbread to Europe, although not in the form we enjoy today.  At one time it was made with breadcrumbs and sweetened with honey.  As with most recipes, gingerbread evolved around the world to meet the tastes of its different cultures.  If you sample gingerbread in a country other than your own you may be surprised to find it does not look or taste as you expected.   It may be a bread, cake or cookie and can range from light colored with just a touch of spice to dark colored and very spicy.  Other gingerbreads: France has Pain D' ?/font> pice (a cake containing flour, spices and honey), Holland has Speculaas (crisp gingerbread cookie molded into different shapes),  Austria and Germany have Lebkuchen (a molded gingerbread cookie full of honey and spices), and China has Mikong (ginger flavored honey bread)....Recipe for Gingerbread Cake , Gingerbread Cookies and Gingerbread Scones Korsfararna krediteras med att pepparkakor till Europa, dock inte i den form vi har i dag.

Hot Chocolate - The drinking of chocolate in the New World was first discovered by Columbus in 1502 when he landed in what we now think was either Mexico or Nicaragua.   He found the Aztecs drinking a chocolate beverage made with cocoa beans from the tropical tree Theobroma which translates to "Food of the Gods".  The Aztec's emperor, Montezuma, loved the drink so much that he would drink upwards of 50 cups a day.  To make this drink the Aztecs would first roast and grind the beans to a paste and then add the paste to water, along with chili peppers and vanilla.  This produced a beverage that was very bitter tasting which the Spaniards didn't enjoy.  Columbus did take some cocoa beans back to Spain but there was little interest in them.  It wasn't until Hernando Cortez, around 1520, brought the cocoa beans back to Spain from his trip to the New World that the chocolate beverage became popular.  To make this drink more palatable, the Spaniards processed the beans as the Aztecs did but then they added sugar and spices (vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, hazelnuts, almonds, orange flower water) to the chocolate paste.  Once the paste was allowed to solidify it was added to water or milk.  This drink immediately became popular with the Spaniards.  So popular that aristocratic ladies would start each day with a cup and even went so far as having their servants bring them some during Mass. Hot Chocolate - De dricker choklad i den nya världen var första upptäcktes av Columbus i 1502 när han landade i det vi nu tror var antingen Mexico eller Nicaragua. Han hittade Aztekerna dricka en choklad dryck gjorts med kakaobönor från de tropiska träden Theobroma som översätter till "Mat för Gudarna". Den Aztec: s kejsare, Montezuma, älskade att dricka så mycket att han skulle dricka upp till 50 koppar om dagen. För att göra denna dryck de Aztekerna skulle först rosta och mala bönorna till en pasta och sedan lägga av massa på vatten, tillsammans med Chili Peppers och vanilj. Detta gav en dryck som var mycket bitter smak som spanjorerna inte njuta. Columbus tog några kakaobönor tillbaka till Spanien men det fanns lite intresse för dem. Det var inte tills Hernando Cortez, omkring 1520, väckt kakaobönor tillbaka till Spanien från sin resa till den nya världen att choklad dryck blev populära. För att göra detta dricker mer tilltalande, spanjorerna behandlade bönor som Aztekerna gjorde men då de tillsatt socker och kryddor (vanilj, kanel, kryddnejlika, hasselnötter, mandel, orange blomma vatten) till choklad klistra. När klistra fick stelna det lades till vatten eller mjölk. Denna dryck blev genast populär bland spanjorerna. så populär att aristokratiska damer skulle börja varje dag med en kopp och till och med gick så långt med sina anställda att de under vissa Mass

Hot Cross Buns - This round, rich, sweet, yeast bun is traditionally served on Good Friday.  The passing of a London by-law in the early 1500s forbidding the sale of hot cross buns except on Good Friday, Christmas, and at funerals seems to have permanently influenced when we eat these spiced buns.   Made of milk, yeast, sugar, flour, spices (such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves), eggs, butter, currants, raisins and/or candied fruit.  John Ayto in "An AZ of Food & Drink" states that the first record of the cross appearing on the top of the buns was in 'Poor Robin's Almanack' (1733) and the 'hot' was added to the name in the early 1800s.   The cross (represents cross of Christ and the Crucifixion) on top that can be made by cutting into the dough, by strips of pastry, or with a paste of flour and water.  Once baked, they can be iced with confectioners frosting or fondant.  Superstition had it that hot cross buns baked on Good Friday never became moldy and one bun used to be kept as a charm until the next year's buns were made.  There are various stories as to when they were first made, but the story I like is related to the Anglo Saxons.  They are said to have baked the buns in honor of their goddess of Spring, Eostre, from whom the name Easter is derived...

Ice Cream - The United States is by far the world's largest consumer of ice cream followed by Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Britain.  Ice cream is such a big part of our culture that in the 1920s as immigrants arrived in the United States (Ellis Island) they were served ice cream as part of their first meal.   Although we may have adopted it as our own ice cream is not an American invention.  Paul Dickson tells us in his book 'The Great American Ice Cream Book' that the first record of it being eaten in the United States was in 1742 when ice cream was served at a dinner given by the then Governor of Maryland.   But it wasn't until the latter part of the eighteenth century when ice cream houses started to appear in New York and Philadelphia that ice cream was not simply a dessert to be enjoyed by the wealthy . Ice Cream - USA är världens största konsument av glass följt av Australien, Nya Zeeland, Kanada och Storbritannien. Glass är en så stor del av vår kultur som på 1920-talet som invandrare anlände till Förenta staterna ( Ellis Island) de serveras glass som en del av deras första måltid. Även om vi kan ha antagit att det är vår egen glass är inte en amerikansk uppfinning. Paul Dickson berättar i sin bok "The Great American Ice Cream Bok" att den första anteckningar av det som äts i USA var 1742 när glass delgavs vid en middag som sedan guvernör i Maryland. Men det var inte förrän senare delen av sjuttonhundratal när glass hus börjat dyka upp i New York och Philadelphia som glass var inte bara en dessert som uppskattas av de rika.

The first ice creams were really "iced cream" as they were made with cream, sugar and flavorings (no eggs) that were simply frozen.  They were quite coarse in texture and contained large ice crystals.  Although the French started to add eggs or egg yolks to their ice cream recipes around the early 1700s, the British didn't follow suit until the middle of the century.  And it wasn't until the 1840s, and the invention of the first ice cream machine, that ice cream began to take on the smooth and creamy texture that we enjoy today....

Ice Cream Cone - T he ice cream cone turns 100 this year.  It made its debut at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and there are many conflicting stories of who should be given credit for its invention.  Paul Dickson in his "The Great American Ice Cream Book" states that the International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers (IAICM) has given Ernest A. Hamwi the credit for inventing the cone. Glasskula - T han glasskula fyller 100 i år. Det gjorde sin debut på 1904 St Louis World's Fair och det finns många motstridiga historier om vem som borde få erkännande för sin uppfinning. Paul Dickson i hans "The Great American Ice Cream Bok "anges att den internationella sammanslutningen av glass tillverkare (IAICM) har gett Ernest A. Hamwi äran för att uppfinna konen.

Ice cream was very popular at the turn of the last century and so it is not surprising that there were over 50 ice cream vendors selling a total of 5000 gallons of ice cream per day at the Fair.  Ernest Hamwi also had a booth at the fair but he was selling a type of waffle (zalabia), not ice cream.  One day, the man (Arnold Fornachou) at the booth next to Hamwi ran out of small dishes to serve his ice cream.  Hamwi got the idea to roll one of his hot Belgian waffles into a cornucopia and told Fornachou to put a scoop of his ice cream into the cornucopia's mouth.  They were an instant hit with Fornachou's customers who lined up to have their ice cream served this new way.   In fact, the cones were so popular at the Fair that St. Louis foundries started manufacturing molds for making the cornucopia shaped cones.  The cones were first given the name "World's Fair Cornucopia" until about 1909 when they were renamed "ice cream cones".  The cone obviously gained popularity across the United States because by 1924 Americans were consuming upwards of 245 million cones per year..... Recipe for Ice Cream Cones Glass var mycket populär i slutet av förra seklet och så är det inte förvånande att det fanns över 50 glass försäljare som säljer sammanlagt 5000 liter glass per dag på mässan. Ernest Hamwi också hade en monter på mässan men han sålde en typ av svammel (zalabia), inte glass. En dag, mannen (Arnold Fornachou) i båset bredvid Hamwi sprang ut små rätter för att tjäna sin glass. Hamwi fick idén att bygga en av hans heta belgiska våfflor i en uppvisning och berättade Fornachou att sätta en skopa av sin glass till uppvisning mun. De var en omedelbar träff med Fornachou kunder som samlats för att få sin glass serveras detta nya sätt. Faktum är att kottar var så populär på mässan att St Louis gjuterier startade tillverkning formar för att göra uppvisning formad kottar. kottarna först gett namnet "World's Fair uppvisning" till omkring 1909 när de bytt namn till "glass strutar". konen uppenbarligen vunnit popularitet över hela USA på grund av 1924 amerikanerna konsumerar uppemot 245 miljoner strutar per år .....

Ladyfingers are made from a sponge cake batter where the egg yolks and sugar are beaten together until thick, to which vanilla extract, sifted flour and beaten egg whites are folded in.  The batter is then piped into long finger-shaped cookies which are dusted with sugar before baking to give them a crisp sweet crust.  The batter contains more flour than most sponge recipes to make it thick enough to pipe.  Although these delicate sponge cookies can be eaten on their own as a petit four or as an accompaniment to ice creams, they really shine when soaked in a syrup and used as part of more complex desserts such as Tiramisu , English Trifles , or Charlottes....

Linzertorte - Linzertorte which is one of Austria's most famous desserts.  Believed to have originated from the City of Linz, written recipes began to appear in the early 1700s.  Traditionally this torte consisted of a crust made with flour, ground nuts (traditionally almonds), sugar, egg yolks, spices and lemon zest that was filled with preserves (traditionally black currant) and then topped with a lattice crust.

Madeleines - Dating back to the 18th century in the French town of Commercy, in the region of Lorraine, the story goes that a girl name Madeleine made them for Stanislaw Lezczynski, Duke of Lorraine, who loved them and subsequently gave some to his daughter, Marie, the wife of Louis XV.  Their popularity grew after that.   Made famous by Marcel Proust in his novel 'Remembrance of Things Past' in which he wrote: "She sent out for one of those short, plump little cakes called 'petites madeleines', which look as though they had been moulded in the fluted scallop of a pilgrim's shell.  And soon, mechanically, weary after a dull day with the prospect of a depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a spoonful of tea in which I had soaked a morsel of the cake.  No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched on my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place.  An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses....".....

Meringue Mushrooms - A recipe for Meringue Mushrooms can be found in Fannie Farmer's Original 1896 Boston Cooking School Cookbook.  But Maida Heatter is the one who brought them to their level of popularity today.  In her 1978 book "Book of Great Chocolate Desserts" she tells the story of entering them in an international cooking Olympics some 20 years before.  Since then she says has seen recipes in newspapers and magazines that look just like the ones she made for the Olympics.

There are many slightly different versions of this recipe but they all involve making a meringue from egg whites, cream of tartar, and sugar.  The meringue is then placed in a pastry bag and piped into shapes of mushroom caps and stems.  After baking in a slow oven the stems are attached to the caps in one of two ways.  You can save a little meringue and use it as a 'glue' to attach the stems to the caps or you can use a little melted chocolate to 'glue' them together.  Either way is delicious.  The finishing touch is dusting the tops with a light sprinkling of cocoa powder.....

Muffins - The name 'Muffin' either comes from the French word 'moufflet', meaning a soft bread , or from the German word 'muffe' which is the name for a type of cake. There are two types of muffins: English and American.

English Muffins are made from a yeast dough that is formed into rounds, cooked on a griddle, toasted, split and buttered.  They are relatively flat with a golden-brown top and bottom and a light, spongy interior.

Muffins began as a yeast bread but American muffins have evolved to be a cross between a bread and a cake and a chemical leavener (baking powder/soda) is now used instead of yeast.  A basic muffin recipe contains flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, eggs, fat, and milk (buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream)...

Oats - Oats are a cereal grain that are rich and flavorful and come in many forms.  The oat flakes (rolled oats) that we are most familiar with were first produced in 1877 by the The Quaker Mill Company.  By 1884 they began selling their product, calling it "Quaker Oats", in the now famous cardboard canister with its distinctive red, white and blue label.  An interesting fact is that Quaker Oats is said to have been not only the first packaged food in America but also the first product to be mass marketed in the US.

Oats were once thought of as a weed and weren't domesticated until after the Christian era began.  Besides Northern Europe, Scotland, and Ireland, oats were used as animal feed.  In fact, even today, over 90% of our US crop is still used for this purpose.  In retrospect you can see why Dr. Johnson  in his 1755 'Dictionary of the English Language' defined 'oats' as "a grain which in England is generally given to horses but in Scotland supports the people".  Northern Europe, Scotland, and Ireland have long enjoyed oats, mainly as porridge or in oat cakes.....

Parfaits - Parfait is French for perfect and is a frozen custard dessert made with eggs, sugar, whipped cream and flavorings such as a puree, liqueur, coffee, or chocolate that is placed in a mold, similar to a bombe.  An American parfait has evolved to mean a dessert consisting of ice cream layered with flavored syrups or fruit and whipping cream that is topped with more whipping cream, nuts and a Maraschino cherry.  It is served in a tall narrow glass so the layers are clearly visible...

Pavlova - or 'pav' is a meringue cake with a light, delicate, crisp crust and a soft sweet marshmallow center that is produced by folding a little vinegar and cornstarch (cornflour) into stiffly beaten egg whites and sugar. This dessert is served with softly whipped cream and fresh fruit (passion fruit, kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries are favorites). The name for this dessert, Pavlova, was chosen in honor of the Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who toured both New Zealand and Australia in 1926. There is a long standing debate about whether New Zealand or Australia invented this dessert, which has yet to be resolved. New Zealand claims that printed recipes for this meringue began to appear in New Zealand in the late 1920's. Australia tells the story of how, an Australian chef, Herbert Sachse, invented this dessert when a soft meringue cake was requested for an afternoon tea at the hotel where he worked.  ...

Peanut Butter Cookies - The peanut butter cookie was invented in America in the 1940s. Peanut Butter Cookies, along with the Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal, are classified as drop cookies.

George Washington Carver (1864-1943) tried very hard to get Americans to use peanuts in both cooking and baking.  He founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and wanted farmers to grow peanuts after the cotton crop was destroyed by the boll weevil in the 1890s. He did accomplish his goal of getting Americans to both grow and eat peanuts, especially peanut butter, but not so much in cooking as in baking cakes, cookies, puddings, pies, and candies.

Americans love their peanut butter so much that over half of our peanut crop goes to making peanut butter.  John Mariani in 'The Dictionary of American Food & Drink' tells us that peanut butter was invented in the late 19th century by a St. Louis doctor who first promoted it as a health food at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.  Children are big eaters of peanut butter, especially in their favorite 'Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches'.  Public schools give children this type of sandwich 'free' when they forget either their boxed lunch, or lunch money, at home.....Recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies

Petit Four - What do miniature tuiles, eclairs, fancy cakes, macaroons, glazed or candied fruits, tartlets, ladyfingers, cigarettes, etc. have in common?  They all belong to a category of small fancy cookies, pastries, or confections called "petits fours".  The name petit four seems to have originated from the name of the ovens (petit four  meaning 'small oven') they were baked in.   In the 18th century the ovens were made of brick and once the large cakes were baked, small cakes were placed in the ovens as they were cooling down.

Petits fours can be eaten in one or two bites and these fancy  pastries are further divided into "sec" or "glac?quot;.  "Sec" meaning "dry" and "glac?quot; meaning "iced or frosted". Petits fours sec usually refers to small biscuits (cookies) or pastries which have little done to them once baked.  Tuiles, macaroons, cigarettes, meringues, and ladyfingers are some examples. Commonly served with afternoon tea or with ice cream, sorbet, or custard. Petits fours glac ?/font> are pastries that can be filled with cream, chocolate, or jam and then covered, glazed, or dipped and decorated with marzipan, fondant, chocolate, or some other form of glaze or icing.  A miniature sponge cake filled with a buttercream and glazed with ganache is one example.   The petit four "sec" and "glac?quot; can be sponge or cake based, biscuit or cookie based, meringue based, marzipan based, fresh fruit or chocolate based.  They are traditionally served with afternoon tea or after a fancy meal (particularly petits fours glac ? accompanied by tea, coffee, liqueurs, or dessert wines.

Pound Cake - The pound cake originated several centuries ago in England from yeast leavened bread-like cakes.  The name comes from the fact that the original pound cakes contained one pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour.  No leaveners were used other than the air whipped into the batter.  These cakes were rich and dense.  By the mid 1800's pound cake recipes began to deviate slightly from the original formula to make a lighter cake.  Some recipes even contained a liquid, such as alcohol or rose water.  It wasn't until the 20th century that artificial leaveners (baking powder/soda) were added.  Today, pound cakes use different proportions of the same ingredients as the original formula to produce a lighter cake....

Rice Pudding - In Roman times rice puddings (pottages), softened in milk (almond or cow's), were thought to cure upset stomachs.  Eventually recipes for both baked and boiled rice puddings began to appear.  Spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon were popular in rice puddings along with raisins and currants.  Eggs were sometimes added towards the end of baking and you will still find them used in recipes today.  Rice pudding recipes differ in the type of rice (long or short grain white rice, brown, basmati, jasmine), milk (whole milk, coconut milk, cream, evaporated or condensed), spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), flavorings (vanilla extract, orange or lemon zest), amount and type of sugar (white or brown), whether eggs and butter are added, to whether there should or should not be a film of top....

Sabl ? (French Butter Cookie) - The Sabl ?/font> is a classic French cookie originating in Normandy.   Sabl ? is French for "sand" and refers to the sandy texture of this delicate and crumbly shortbread-like cookie.  A versatile dough that can be flavored with ground nuts or zests and although traditionally round with fluted edges, they can also be cut into other shapes and even sandwiched together with jam or preserves, chocolate or lemon curd....

Scones - Scones are believed to have originated in Scotland and are closely related to the griddle baked flatbread, known as bannock.   They were first made with oats, shaped into a large round, scored into four to six triangles, and cooked on a griddle either over an open fire or on top of the stove.

The origin of the name 'scone' is just as unclear as where it came from.  Some say the name comes from where the Kings of Scotland were crowned, the Stone (Scone) of Destiny.  Others believe the name is derived from the Dutch word "schoonbrot" meaning fine white bread or from the German word "sconbrot" meaning 'fine or beautiful bread'.  Still others say it comes from the Gaelic 'sgonn' a shapeless mass or large mouthful.....

Sherbet and Sorbet - In ancient time, the Sherbet was a non alcoholic sweetened fruit drink sold in the Middle East by street vendors during the summer months.  As time went on the Sherbet, known as 'shar ?', had alcohol added to it so a new name ' sharb ?/font> t' was given to the original non alcoholic fruit drink.   By the 16th century the sharb ?/font> t had made its way to Europe where it became very popular.  In Italy the fruit drink was called sorbetto (from the verb sorboire meaning 'to sip'), in France it was called sorbet, in Spain it was called sorbete and the English called it sherbet.  Over time, and with the advent of making artificial ice, sorbets/sherbets were sometimes frozen and were either served as a drink or eaten with a spoon.

In America at the turn of the 19th century, the word sherbet and sorbet were (at still are in some places) used interchangeably.  The difference, however, is that sorbets are made using fresh fruit (juices/purees), sugar, water and sometimes lemon/lime juice and come closest to the original Middle Eastern drink.  Sherbets, on the other hand, contain fruit juice or puree, sugar, and water but also milk and/or cream, and sometimes eggs to give them a smooth and rich consistency somewhere between an ice cream and a sorbet....Recipe for Lemon Sherbet , Blackberry Sorbet , and Strawberry Sorbet

Shortbread - Scottish in origin, this rich, tender and crumbly straw colored biscuit (cookie) was once only served during Christmas and New Year's Eve (Hogmanay).   The classic proportions of one part sugar to two parts butter to three parts flour were mixed together and placed in a lightly floured  8 inch (20 cm) round wooden mold carved with a thistle.  The dough-filled mold was then inverted onto a baking sheet, released from the mold,  and baked in a slow oven.  Once baked, the shortbread was cut into wedges that were given the name "petticoat tails".  This name was derived because the shape of the shortbread wedges was similar to the bell-hoop petticoats worn by court ladies in the 12th century.....

Strawberries - The cultivated strawberries we enjoy today began in France with the chance meeting of two American species; one from North America, the other from South America.  The first to arrive in France in the early 1600s was the F. Virginiana, the wild scarlet woodland strawberry that was found growing along the Eastern United States.  A century would pass before the second American species, F. Chiloensis, would arrive from South America.  It seems a French engineer, Fr ?/font> zier, who was sent to the west coast of South America for a totally different reason, found and brought back to France a large walnut sized strawberry that tasted like a pineapple.  At first, although the Chilean strawberry plant thrived, it would not bear any fruit.  Then, by chance, the North American strawberry was planted near the South American plant.  The two strawberry plants met and crossed naturally to produce a strawberry with the best characteristics of the two species.  This new hybrid was the ancestor of the cultivated strawberries that have become one of the most popular fruits in the world today....Recipes for Strawberry Desserts

Tiramisu - Pronounced tih-ruh-mee-SOO.  Literally translated it means "pick me up" or "carry me up".  It is an Italian dessert invented in the 1960's at the El Touga restaurant in Treviso, Italy.  Variations exist, but the bottom layer is usually composed of a sponge cake or ladyfingers that are dipped or soaked in a mixture of coffee (espresso) and alcohol (rum or brandy).  The next layer is typically a Zabaglione (Zabaione) (pronounced zah-bahl-YOH-nay) or a custard-like variation combined with mascarpone cheese.  Zabaglione is a light, airy wine custard made by whipping egg yolks, sugar and sweet Marsala wine over a water bath .  (Traditionally served warm or cold in wine goblets.  Can also be used in making Tiramisu.  Invented by the Italians but the French make their own version called sabayon (pronounced sah-bah-YAWN) and the Marsala wine (see note) is sometimes replaced by Champagne or dry white wine.)  Grated chocolate is then sprinkled over the Zabaglione, followed by a layer of softly whipped cream. The layers are often repeated which is why it is oftentimes called an Italian Trifle.  Finally, the Tiramisu is garnished with cocoa powder and sometimes a dusting of ground cinnamon....

Torte - Torte is German for cake and refers to both a multi-layered cake filled with buttercream, jam, or cream and to a rich, moist, and dense single-layered cake.

Trifle - What a stunning dessert the trifle makes with its multiple layers that delight our senses with so many colors, textures and flavors.  The English have enjoyed this dessert for over three centuries now.  Although the dictionary defines 'trifle' as being something insignificant, this dessert is anything but.  Its beginnings were humble as the first trifles simply consisted of a mixture of boiled cream and a few other ingredients.   It wasn't until the mid 18th century that the trifle started to evolve into what we have today.   This is a trifle recipe by Frederick Bishop from "The Wife's Own Book of Cookery", 1852  (quoted from Elizabeth David's 'An Omelette and a Glass of Wine')

'Cover the bottom of the dish with Naples biscuits, and macaroons broken in halves, wet with brandy and white wine poured over them, cover them with patches of raspberry jam, fill the dish with a good custard, then whip up a syllabub, drain the froth on a sieve, put it on the custard and strew comfits over all.'

(Naples biscuits was the name given to sponge fingers at the time.) (Syllabub being a milk or cream that is whipped with sugar, spirits, spices and sometimes egg whites.) (Comfits are sugar-coated coriander or caraway seeds.).... More on Trifles

Truffle - The name 'truffle' for this confection comes from the fact that the mis-shaped cocoa powder covered truffle looked like the fungus of the same name.... More on Truffles

Valentine's Day - February 14th is named after the patron saint, St. Valentine, and we celebrate this day with the exchange of candy, flowers, cards, and gifts as a token of affection to our loved ones.  The history of this day is very sketchy but it does appear to derive from Christian and Roman traditions.  The story I like dates from the third century when Rome was ruled by the Emperor Claudius II.  The Emperor outlawed marriages for young men as he felt single men made better soldiers than men who were married.  A priest, named St. Valentine, didn't agree with the Emperor and married young lovers in secret.  When the Emperor discovered what St. Valentine was doing, he sentenced him to death.

The story then goes that while in prison, waiting to be put to death, he met and fell in love with the jailor's daughter.  Before he died he sent her a letter and signed it "From your Valentine".  This expression is still used today and St. Valentine is now best remembered as being a romantic and heroic figure.
