Cardamom Buns-Swedish

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.July 23, 2022

Yeasted buns made with cardamom. If you haven’t used the spice cardamom you should become familiar with this wonderful spice that is used in the US in bakery goods. Cardamom has been named the “Queen of Spices”. Cardamom is part of the ginger family of plants and the seeds are contained in trigonal poda. Cardamom…

Flan de Queso (Puerto Rican Flan)

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.July 10, 2022

Flan is a desert frequently seen in Latin cultures, but also in the UK. It contains condensed milk and eggs. Flan can be sweet or savory. Flan is not for the faint of heart when it comes to calories, over 400 per slice. But it is a great presentation and delicious addition to a meal.…

Rugelach – A Classic Jewish Cookie

Uncategorized, Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.June 19, 2022

Rugelach is a European/American Jewish cookie that is fairly simple to make and delicious. This dough is made with cream cheese, sour cream and butter which gives it a flakiness and a delicious “tang”. The filling can be just about anything sweet you can imagine. But a fruit jam with a nut filling is easy…

EventsBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.June 19, 2022

The Bleubird Studio is a Bed and Breakfast, format for local chefs, art exhibit and yoga studio: All of this in Georgetown Kentucky. Not to mention the interesting design of the building and it’s color, what else, blue. The Bleubird Studio in Georgetown Kentucky brought in photographic art from Lana Yeary and John Snell. A…

Tamalitos Verdes

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.June 15, 20221 Comment

These are a very interesting take on the tamale, nothing like what we are used to in the US. They are light and delicious. Tamales are ubiquitous throughout Central and South America and found in other Latin countries such as Spain. They almost always contain corn, either fresh, or dried and ground corn. They were…

Salsa Criolla

Unwrapped Food RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.June 14, 2022

This is a delicious, spicy and easily made salsa that goes well with the Peruvian tamales, Tamales de Queso and Tamales Verdes. This salsa can also be used for salads, a dip for chips, or straight from the container. It is fresh so needs to be eaten farly quickly.

Tamales de Queso – Peru

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.June 14, 20221 Comment

Tamales are ubiquitous throughout Central and South America and found in other Latin countries such as Spain. They almost always contain corn, either fresh, or dried and ground corn. They were probably first made back in Mesoamerica earlier than 8000 BC and it is generally believed that the Aztecs were the first to make tamales.…

Pelmeni – Russian Dumplings

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.May 31, 2022

Dumplings are ubiquitous in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine and other countries. These are delicious. I have taken the liberty of doing my own version of these Pelmeni, as I prefer food a little more savory than what is considered the original recipe for Pelmeni. The picture above is of frozen Pelmeni. These are…

Shrimp Stuffed with Cheese Filled Date and wrapped in Bacon with a Pecan Glaze.

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.May 23, 2022

This is a fairly simple recipe, but putting it all together can be a bit challenging. Wrapping the date in the shrimp and then in the bacon requires at least 2 toothpicks. Also you want to bake these enough that the bacon is a crisp as possible, without burning the shrimp and date. These can…

Crepe Wheels with Mushroom and Cheese Filling

Wrap Up a Tailgate Party, Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.May 22, 2022

These are easy to make, impressive and your guests will love them. They are finger food, easy to pick up, and just a small bite each, an amuse bouche. The crepe batter is from my blog on sweet crepes, so it is a all-purpose flour crepe without the sweetness. The filling here is savory not…

About "Wrap It Up - Wrapped Food Recipes from Around the World": Why wrap food? The wrapping of food gives food added flavor, kills off bacteria, is more visually pleasing, allows for different ingredients to be included, keeps food moist and holds in flavors. However, it has taken centuries for the wrapping of food to develop into a more sophisticated cooking approach current seen around the world.
