Cooking method

  • Part one.
  • “A loud cry of surprise - no, a cry of delight escaped from Marie, when she suddenly found herself in front of the castle with a hundred air towers glowing with a bright scarlet glow. Here and there on the walls were scattered luxurious bouquets of violets, daffodils, tulips, levkoy, which set off the dazzling whiteness of the background, shimmering with crimson light. The great dome of the central building and the gabled roofs of the towers were dotted with thousands of stars glittering in gold and silver.
  • - Here we are in the Marzipan Castle, said the Nutcracker.
  • "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E. T. A. Hoffman
  • In search of interesting recipes, I wandered into the website of the Niederegger Company and realized that another dream had appeared in my life.
  • Marzipan (German Marzipan, from Italian marzzapane - March Easter bread) is made from an elastic paste consisting of finely grated sweet and bitter almonds and powdered sugar. The most meticulous historians are more inclined towards the version of Persian origin, although in the Persian tradition, marzipan did not yet have its current name and meaning. Physician Abu Bakr Muhammad Ben Zakariya ar-Razi (865-925) glorified this oriental delicacy, primarily as a medicine. He highlighted its beneficial effects on the brain, but also warned that excessive consumption can cause obesity. Marzipan is really good for the brain, as almonds contain a lot of lecithin, which stimulates the work of nerve cells. In the 13th century, in Naples, Venice and Sicily, exotic delicacies were valued as highly as spices. It was hard not to notice him. Even the thinker and theologian Thomas Aquinas claimed that "Marzipan does not break the fast," and Boccaccio, the great storyteller of the Renaissance, found a relationship between these sweets and the fervor of love. Over time, marzipan, along with other eastern rarities, penetrated to the north of Europe, but only as a medicine, and was originally sold and manufactured in pharmacies. Queen Elizabeth I of England preferred it to all other sweets. Then the term "royal pleasure" appeared. In the 18th and 19th centuries, almond candies became popular in Germany and Austria, where the art of making them was perfected.
  • Since I cannot cook real Lubeck marzipan, I will cook sweets according to the recipes of the Niederegger Company.
