Peter’s recipe for Grilled Scallops with Sweet Chilli Sauce and Crème Fraîche, his signature dish, really sets the scene for this groundbreaking book. The combination of charred sweet scallops and rich crème fraîche—enhanced with a punchy sauce bursting with Asian aromatics such as lemongrass, lime leaves, ginger and galangal—results in a taste unlike any other.

It is a Custom with us every Christmas-Day in the Morning, to have, what we call an Hackin, for the Breakfast of the young Men who work about our House; and if this Dish is not dressed by that time it is Day-light, the Maid is led through the Town, between two Men, as fast as they can run with her, up Hill and down Hill, which she accounts a great shame.

  • A Forgotten Hero
    A Forgotten Hero By Emily Sarah Holt A Forgotten Hero Chapter One Castles in the Air “O pale, pale face, so sweet and meek, Oriana!” Tennyson. “Is the linen all put away, Clarice?” “Ay, Dame.” “And the rosemary not forgotten?” “I have laid it in the linen, Dame.” “And thy day‟s task of spinning is done?” “All done, Dame.” “Good. Then fetch thy sewing and come hither, and I will tell thee somewhat touching the lady whom thou art to serve.” “I humbly thank your Honour.” And dropping a low courtesy, the girl left the room, and returned in a minute with her work. “Thou mayest sit down, Clarice.” Clarice, with another courtesy and a murmur of thanks, took her seat in the recess of the window, where her mother was already sitting. For these two were mother and daughter; a middleaged, comfortablelooking mother, with a mixture of firmness and goodnature in her face; and a daughter of some sixteen years, rather pale and slender, but active and intelligent in her appearance. Clarice‟s dark hair was smoothly brushed and turned up in a curl all round her head, being cut sufficiently short for that purpose. Her dress was long and loose, made in what we call the Princess style, with a long train, which she tucked under one arm when she walked. The upper sleeve was of a narrow bell shape, but under it came down tight ones to the wrist, fastened by a row of large round buttons quite up to the elbow. A large apronwhich Clarice called a barmclothprotected the dress from stain.

This is apparent in both English homes and popular culture, as foreign foods were featured in contemporary recipe books, medical manuals, treatises, travel narratives, and even in plays performed during the period. Their inclusion in the English home and in popular culture is important; it illustrates that there was a general fascination with these foods that went beyond just eating them. When written about in travel narratives or incorporated into plays, the English were able to mentally consume such products.

  • The Friends of the French Culinary Institute, Inc. What Marcella Hazan
    What Marcella Hazan taught us—chefs and home cooks alike—has become the very foundation of American cooking today. It’s impossible to imagine any home or restaurant kitchen without her imprint: good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, Parmigiano-Reggiano, mozzarella, arugula! A teacher and an academic, Marcella came to the U.S. as a newlywed in the mid-1950s and, appalled at what passed for good Italian food, taught herself— and later others, in cooking classes held in her NYC apartment—to create dishes that celebrated ingredients and purity of flavor. Craig Claiborne, of The New York Times, heard about her classes and introduced her to the world. She published her first cookbook, The Classic Italian Cook Book, in 1973. Marcella’s seminal cookbooks patiently reveal the many styles of Italian cooking; how the risottos of Piedmont differ from the Venetian; how the egg-based pastas of Emilia-Romagna, like lasagne, are unlike the water-based orecchiette of Apulia. She taught Americans to prize the essence of vegetables: to sauté radicchio, to fry zucchini blossoms, to grill peppers, and to leave market-fresh greens pretty much alone. But most of all she taught us that real Italian cooking comes from the heart of the family, allowing each of us to make her food our own. The scholarship will provide $20,000 in tuition aid to a student enrolled in the Italian Culinary Experience at the ICC’s New York location, starting March 19, 2014. Selection is based on financial need, merit, culinary goals, a passion for Italian cooking and a thoughtful expression of regard for the teachings and food philosophy of Marcella Hazan.

  • The Use of Food to Signify Class in the Comedies of Carlo Goldoni 1737-1762
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “THE SAUCE IS BETTER THAN THE FISH”: THE USE OF FOOD TO SIGNIFY CLASS IN THE COMEDIES OF CARLO GOLDONI 1737-1762. Margaret Anne Coyle, Ph.D, 2006 Directed By: Dr. Heather Nathans, Department of Theatre This dissertation explores the plays of Venetian Commedia del’Arte reformer- cum-playwright Carlo Goldoni, and documents how he manipulates consumption and material culture using fashionable food and dining styles to satirize class structures in eighteenth century Italy. Goldoni’s works exist in what I call the “consuming public” of eighteenth century Venice, documenting the theatrical, literary, and artistic production of the city as well as the trend towards Frenchified social production and foods in the stylish eating of the period. The construction of Venetian society in the middle of the eighteenth century was a specific and legally ordered cultural body, expressed through various extra-theatrical activities available during the period, such as gambling, carnival, and public entertainments. The theatrical conventions of the Venetian eighteenth century also explored nuances of class decorum, especially as they related to audience behavior and performance reception. This decorum extended to the eating styles for the wealthy developed in France during the late seventeenth century and spread to the remainder of Europe in the eighteenth century. Goldoni ‘s early plays from 1737 through 1752 are riffs on the traditional Commedia dell’Arte performances prevalent in the period. He used food in these early pieces to illustrate the traditional class and regional affiliations of the Commedia characters. Plays such as The Artful Widow, The Coffee House, and The Gentleman of Good Taste experimented with the use of historical foods styles that illustrate social placement and hint at further character development.
