passion in Madeleines
The madeleine or petite madeleine is a traditional small cake from Commercy and Liverdun, two communes of the Lorraine region in northeastern France.
Madeleines are very small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions. Aside from the traditional moulded pan, commonly found in stores specialising in kitchen equipment and even hardware stores, no special tools are required to make madeleines.
A genoise cake batter is used. The flavour is similar to, but somewhat lighter than, sponge cake. Traditional recipes include very finely ground nuts, usually almonds. A variation uses lemon zest, for a pronounced lemony taste.
[edit] History
The genuine petite Madeleine de Commercy
Some sources, including the New Oxford American Dictionary, say madeleines may have been named for a 19th century pastry cook, Madeleine Paulmier, but other sources have it that Madeleine Paulmier was a cook in the 18th century for Stanislaw Leszczynski, whose son-in-law, Louis XV of France, named them for her.[1] The Larousse Gastronomique offers two conflicting versions of the history of the madeleine.[2]
Madeleines were chosen to represent France in the Cafe Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006 (source : wikipedia)
Dictionary - Collage Art
Found this at a used book store today. The cover is water damaged, but the core is in extremely gently used condition.
I love old dictionaries, but this one is extra special. I have never seen one like it or as big as it (almost 6 inches thick).
I am pretty sure that $12.95 is a great price, the illustrations are beautiful and the pages are the perfect yellow from age.
Right now I'm wondering if I can really bring myself to cut and tear it as easily as I have the other old books and dictionaries that I have. :P
