While employed by the English prince regent at Brighton Pavilion, from 1816 to 1819, Carème created a new dessert: layers of apple and sugar baked between slices of buttered bread.

RE; Baked Alaska!
Rather than placing the entire dessert into a very hot oven, that is 450% or hotter, so as to slightly burn the merinque, I would suggest merely using a small butane torch to perform the same thing! This makes it unecessary to hard freeze the ice cream in the first place! It saves both time and energy! Regards, ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |
