Want to participate in the edible book festival, but have no clue what to do? Then why not try to recreate a dessert trend from the 18th century, a sweet treat that looks like a hedgehog! See if you can recreate the recipe from one of our early editions of Hannah Glasse’s The Art of Cookery!
We got this idea from a student who took a Special Collections course on historic cookbooks. She adapted this very recipe to 21st century tastes, and made the very hedgehog shown above!
To Make a Hedge-Hog
Take two pounds of blanched almonds, beat them well in a mortar, with a little canary and orange-flower water, to keep them from oiling. Make them into thin paste, then beat in the yolks of 12 eggs, leave out five of the whites, put to it a pint of cream sweetened with sugar, put in half a pound of sweet butter melted, set it on a furnace or slow fire, and keep constantly stirring, till it is still enough to be made in the form of a hedge-hog then stick it full of blanched almonds like the bristles of a hedge-hog, then put it into a dish; take a pint of cream, and the yolks of four eggs beat and sweetened with sugar to your palate; stir them together over a slow fire till it is quite hot; then pour it round the hedge-hog in a dish, and let it stand till it is cold, and serve it up.
Do you want to enter a dessert in the festival, but are worried that your baking skills aren’t up to snuff? Well, fear not! You don’t need to be fondant superstar to participate! All you need is a clever idea, as seen in these desserts inspired by Much Ado About Nothing and The Tipping Point.
A fan favorite from our 2016 festival -- a charming dessert inspired by If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! As you can see, we totally encourage our bakers to put the finishing touches on their desserts before the festival begins.
Speaking of cookies, our friends at Insomnia Cookies are donating 100 cookies to our edible book festival!
