Thomas Jefferson, our third president (1801-1809), is often credited with “bringing ice cream to America,” and even with “discovering” it. Neither is true, however. It’s believed that the first mention in this country of those two words “ice cream” is in the journal writings of a fellow named William Black. You see, it’d been served [...]

With the “turning” help of several willing attendees, I made parmesan ice cream during last week’s Culinary Historians of New York (CHNY) program, featuring ice cream historian Jeri Quinzio. Yep, that’s right, parmesan. As in the Italian cheese. HUZZAH! I used the receipt from Frederick Nutt’s book, The Complete Confectioner: Or, the Whole Art of [...]

Whew! The past week or so has been extremely hectic. First, my focus was on ice cream for the Culinary Historians of New York’s (CHNY) program on that very treat, then it was preparations for, and cooking during, a new major event out at Wyckoff (more on that later). And hence, yes, I’ve been lax [...]

For the better part of the past several days, I’ve been mired in cream, sugar, fruit, and sometimes eggs. It’s a new sweet ‘n heavy dairy diet! Well, no, not really. So what have I been doing with all those ingredients? Why, I’ve been making ice cream, of course! It all started when the Culinary [...]

Now and then, I browse through one website or another, just to see what’s there, what’s new, what’s different, what’s the same, what seems odd, what I missed the last time, or…whatever. So I was doing this the other day, just kinda strolling through the myriad of items offered on Peter Goebel’s site, Goose Bay [...]

This past Saturday, I got up really early, went into Manhattan, and boarded a New Jersey Transit train. About an hour and a half later, I arrived at my destination, disembarked, and walked a mile or so up the road. I was headed to Historic Speedwell, to participate in a hearth cooking class led by [...]

Alot of the pieces in my own little personal collection of historic cooking equipment are reproductions. You can find the list of my preferred vendors on the “Carolina’s Cupboard” page. I also have quite a few “originals” that were found on eBay. For example, I bought a pair of sugar nippers awhile back. They were [...]

I’ve been keeping this blog for a little more than a year now (one year and two weeks, to be exact), and this, dear readers, is my 200th post. HUZZAH! Yep, I’ve reached another major milestone. HUZZAH, again! So, in honor of myself (!) and my blog guru Steven Shaw, to whom I owe a [...]

As you know, I finished reading The Taste of the Fire, the Story of the Tudor Kitchens at Hampton Court Palace, and I’ve been sharing various informative bits with you. It’s certainly been a fascinating and fun journey! Now, however, I must bid a fond farewell to dear King Henry VIII and his foodways at [...]
