The original recipe called for 2 envelopes of cream hardener. That
stuff helps to get the cream get hard more quickly and staying so

The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As we move on, we have two interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that period. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Advocaat Torte recipe.
