BACKGROUND TRIVIA !!! The range of specialized cooking tools developed by Italian Reinassance chefs, and carefully documented by 16th and 17th century manuals, is simply astonishing. The three utensils reproduced in the background of this page were used in the preparation of "crespelle," the Italian version of crêpes, and "cialde", which are thin wafers rolled and baked to scoop up fresh whipped cream. The
drawing includes (from the top of the page down) a "soffietto" or bellows,
a special implement to make "cialde," and a "setaccio" or sieve. It is interesting
to notice how little the shape and function of these tools has changed over
time: they are still commonly used in Italian kitchens today. More trivia? |
