 Eighteen girls in your kitchen When reading menus or cookbooks it is not unusual to come across dishes with girls' names. Some are contemporary but the majority dates from the last century or so when gallant French chefs were dedicating their creations either to mythology, leading ladies of the court, or other celebrities of the time. Here are eighteen "feminine dishes" for you to match. If eighteen girls will crowd your small kitchen, invite them three at a time for six days. Some girls' names were left with their original spelling. click here to test your knowledge Oops! forgot to tell you my score: 15 What's yours?

| eighteen girls in your kitchen Hello Kimmie,thanks for the reminder,i`m getting old you know !! You mentioned lorette potatoes,how about Dauphinoise(princess potatoes)they are a larger version.Is classical cookery sexist? I don`t think so,we just respect women rather than patronise them. this is not meant to be sycophantic!! I,as a Englishman(limey),am puzzled. Why does London grind to a halt after midnight?I live in a cosmopolitan city yet, if i`m lucky,i can get McDonalds! Whoopee!!Do you think i should emigrate? BTW,Canada like your American collegues has some exceptional chefs. My late mother used to say that we can always live in hope,even if we die in despair. Thank you for replies,it`s nice to know someone likes me Best wishes to everyone,Leo. |
