Desserts - why desserts? Why not!
Different cultures have varying ideas on what constitutes a dessert. In China traditional desserts are sometimes made with red beans, sesame, dates or lotus. In Greece honey is a popular medium. Some Spaniards claim that the use of chocolate as a dessert originated with them, but the debate goes back centuries, as the Aztecs felt that their god, Quetzlcoatl, should be credited for the origin of the cacao bean. In some cultures a cheeseplate is considered the proper ending to a great meal.
The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang (A.D. 618-97) of Shang, China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.
But, even if the origin of dessert is buried in the ‘sands of time’ it doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy it!
