Spiced Hot Chocolate
Super rich and delicious dark hot chocolate with cinnamon and cardamom
Hoppin’ John
Smoky, meaty, herby rice and beans that is supposed to bring good luck in the new year
Pompkin Pie
Less sweet than a modern pumpkin pie, it really lets the spices shine and the texture is so nice and smooth, like a firm pudding. This will definitely be a holiday staple for me!
Crême de Choclat (Chocolate Creme)
A very rich, intensely chocolatey cross between a ganache and a creme anglaise. Pair with French Chocolate Biscuits for a dessert à la Marie Antoinette.
Biscuits de Chocolat (Chocolate Cookies)
Meringue-like cookies that are mildly chocolatey and very, very sweet. Pair with French Chocolate Creme for a dessert à la Marie Antoinette
White Ketchup
A super concentrated sauce made with anchovies, vinegar, horseradish, and spices. Add it to something creamy and neutral, like a béchamel sauce, to give it a tangy zest with a savory umami note
Pommes de terre a l’économe
Meat, mashed potatoes, and herbs rolled into balls and fried. What’s not to like?
Shortbread
Shortbread that is less sweet than modern versions and dissolves in your mouth and forms a kind of gluey paste. Definitely have a drink on hand
18th Century Wedding Cake
A fruitcake with candied peel and lots of dried currants that is an odd combination of dry and moist and has two kinds of icing
Parmesan Ice Cream
Smooth, creamy, sweet ice cream with an interesting savory note. Not cheesy or salty, only delicious. A Tasting History favorite!
George Washington’s Eggnog
Very different from modern store-bought eggnog! It’s sweet, creamy (but not thick), foamy, and very boozy. Really, really good
