Folger Fellowship!

I’m pleased to be spending the month of July as a Folger fellow – exploring their amazing cookery book collection!

Still life with plums by Louise Moillon (French, 1629) 🍂 It’s apple season!🍏🍎🍏 This is ‘Old Rose’, whose cries of “Cafe noir!” and “Cafe au lait!” were gratefully received by churchgoers leaving New Orleans’ St Louis Cathedral on a Sunday morning. “Her coffee is like the benediction that follows a prayer”, according to one customer, celebrated in the Times Picayune ☕️☕️☕️ Le pâté en croûte by Guillaume Fouace (French, 1884) 🥧 Bananas don’t have to be yellow… these are Fe’i bananas, which come in striking red or orange tones with vivid yellow/orange flesh inside. An early description comes from Rumphius’ Herbarium Amboinese of 1741, in which he called them the ‘heaven-looking banana’. He also recounted how eating them can turn your urine bright yellow! 🍌 Wondering how best to advertise pickles? (Why wouldn’t you be??) Take a lesson from Heinz, who designed these supposedly cute gherkin girls in the late 19th century! 🤣🥒🤷‍♀️ Squid Game became Netflix’s biggest debut hit today, with 111 million watchers worldwide! If, like me, you’ve been wondering about that candy: it’s called dalgona or ppopgi. A popular street snack originating in Korea in the 1970s, dalgona is made with just two ingredients: sugar and baking soda. You simply caramelise the sugar, add a pinch of baking powder, pour the mixture onto a silicone mat, and press and stamp it with the shape of your choice ☂️ You should only eat oysters in months containing the letter ‘r’ - which equates to September to April - according to folk wisdom 🦪🦪🦪 Monday morning = time for coffee! ☕️
