Historical cakes and cookies in the café bloom in Wittenberge!

In the tranquil city of Wittenberge, a very special café has established itself: the "Café Blooming". Not only the senses are spoiled here, but also stories from the culinary delights of past centuries are told. Operator Mira Lange has dealt with historical recipes during the Corona pandemic and integrated them into her café. Her specialties, such as the popular Portuguese coffee cake and the Nostalgic Viennese cherry cake from 1870, are true contemporary witnesses that kidnap the guests into previous epochs. A place according to a recipe from Fontane's grandmother is also part of the repertoire, which has been enjoyed on weekends from 12 noon to 5 p.m., such as Nordkurier reported.

Mira Lange, who also works full -time as a harpsichord and hammer wing player, launched the “Sound landscape Prignitz” concert series with her husband, the cellist Martin Seemann. Her passion for cultural history is not only reflected in music, but also in the menu of the café. She wants to revive old living environments and therefore studied old cookbooks from 1500 to 1900. She noticed that historical recipes are often incomplete and require a lot of research to reconstruct them.

Culinary journey through time

The recipes that reinterpreted for a long time come from a time when spices played a major role and baking powder has not yet been used. It is fascinating what importance the eating culture had over the centuries. Especially in the Belle Époque, an era from 1871 to 1914, the gastronomy experienced a boom. The range of top wines was particularly impressive: the Bordeaux wines, such as the noble drops from Margaux and Lafite Rothschild, were a must on every festive table, such as [La Table du Temps Jadis] (https://laTbledutempspS.C. determined.

During this golden time, food and drinks were also celebrated as symbols for luxury. Champagne became a drink of the elite and was often used on the most solemn occasions. Exquisite dishes were served based on old recipes. The wine played an essential role, although the combination of food and drinks was very important. So you often adapted white wines to fish dishes and heavy red wines to meat dishes.

A look at the cookbook history

Introduction to the world of cooking also offers the consideration of historical cookbooks that shape the development of French cuisine. Works such as "Le Viandier" from the 14th century and "Le Cuisinier François" from 1651 not only revolutionized culinary art, but also had a lasting impact on eating culture. These writings are not only recipes, but also certificates of the respective time. They show how the culinary delights have developed from a simple craft into a respected art form, such as [the Paulim Magazin] (https://daspaulimagazin.ch/de/miste/historisch-die--die-kochbucher-in-build-die-die-klassische-franzische-Auf listing) detailed.

The joy of historical recipes and the fascination for the past actually combines many people.
