The magnificent Croquembouche inspired by a Middle Eastern dessert known as “towers of paradise.” This towering dessert gained popularity during the reign of King Louis XIV. A perfect centerpiece for his extravagant royal celebrations. Besides being very visually appealing the Croquembouche is delicious. This one is made with chocolate but some are made with caramelized sugar. Enjoy. #croquembouche#foodhistory#dessert#historicaldessert#weddingfood#partyfood#afternoontea☕️ #frenchcuisine
"The experiment begun in 1492 was accompanied by a new relationship with the world and with each other, based on the novel idea that the prosperity of human societies lay in the submission of a wild and free nature to the rational act of exploitation. From then on, the entire living world was put to work, and in this first planetary empire, people, plants and animals became commodities circulating from one corner of the hemisphere to the other."
wrote Sylvie Laurent in her book "Capital et race : Histoire d'une hydre moderne"
The two authors explain how European consumption and tastes were changed so that plantation production could deliver to a huge and ever-growing market. ‘As the supply of sugar grew, so did its popularity,’ the authors summarise. Between 1700 and 1783, sugar production in the British West Indies quadrupled.
This phenomenon came about through two channels that are familiar to the current mechanisms of capitalism: the appeal of luxury consumption that has become affordable and the addiction to the product itself, which becomes a ‘necessity’.
The imposition of sugar in the diets of Europeans, including the poorest, during the 18th century was, in a way, the first victory of marketing in support of mass production. It reminds us that demand and consumption are often the consequences rather than the causes of production choices.
Frische saftige rote Erdbeeren in einer grünen Schale, die auf einem Tisch stehen, warten auf diesem Aquarellgemälde im zeitgenössischen quadratischen Format darauf, als süße Nachspeise verzehrt zu werden.
Während ich davon träumte, diese köstlichen Früchte in meinem Sommergarten zu ernten, spielte ich mit kontrastierenden Farben Rot und Grün und kontrastierenden geometrischen Formen wie runden Früchten und Schalen und geraden Linien für die Tischdecke im Hintergrund.
Guten Appetit!
