Description
The Trifle: A Layered History of an English Dish Trifles have been a staple of English summer lunches and gatherings for centuries. From their humble beginnings in 1596, these layered desserts have evolved into the elaborate custard-based treats we know today. This book explores the development and spread of trifles across cultures, tracing their journey from traditional English recipes to international variations. With recipes and historical insights, the authors reveal the surprising origins of this quintessential English dish, including its presence in Laos, America, Australia, Mexico, Eritrea, South Africa, Afghanistan, Malta, and Norway. A fascinating exploration of food, culture, and history, The Trifle offers a unique perspective on a beloved English tradition.
