Empanadas, Chilean (Pequenes)

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 22, 2022

Empanadas have a long history dating back to Spain. In 1520 the Catalan cookbook Libre del Coch by the Chef author Ruperto de Nola, describes seafood empanadas. However, it has been suggested that their history goes back much further. The Moorish invasion of the Iberian peninsula came with the first “appearance” of something similar to…

Armadillo Eggs

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 22, 2022

These neither contain Armadillo, nor are they eggs further, Armadillos do not lay eggs. The origin of the term is a bit obscure, but it seems clear that this dish originated in Texas. Apparently two versions of the history exist in Texas and both are passionately adhered. The first mention of this dish was form…

French Buckwheat Crepes Classically used for Savory Fillings

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

Buckwheat is delicious and especially when used for these crepes. There are a couple of ways to prepare and use these types of crepes. They depend on whether the crepe is to be used “open faced”, as in the classic galette bretton (“pancake from Brittany”) type crepe dish, or rolled. Since 100% buckwheat flour creates…

Chinese Sausage Buns (Lap Cheung Bao)

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 14, 2022

It may be that the Chinese have more wrapped dishes than other cultures. So many buns and dumplings made with completely different wrappers and fillings. It would probably take a lifetime to catalogue all of them, but what a wonderful chore. Chinese sausage dates back almost 2000 years. The technique described in writings from that…

Cherry Tomatoes stuffed with Goat Cheese

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 13, 2022

These cherry tomatoes can be quickly prepared and provide an excellent appetizer as a start for a meal. They are fresh and the addition of the cheese really adds to this savory dish.

Poached Chicken, Green Apple with Curry Sauce

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 13, 2022

This dish is a bit complicated, but delicious. The sauce is the complicating issue. The combination of chicken, apple and the curry is delicious. Your guests will love this.

French Crepes Classically used for Sweet Fillings

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 12, 20222 Comments

As mentioned in the blog on crepes generally, French crepes are what we think of when the word “crepes” is mentioned. They can be filled with savory or sweet fillings and the type of crepe depends on the filling. Classically savory crepes use buckwheat flour whereas sweet crepes use King Arthur All Purpose Flour. The…

Crepes – A Quintessential Wrap

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 11, 2022

In the US Crepes are thought purely French, and of course French crepes are delicious. The Classic French Crepe Suzette used to be a popular formal desert, though less commoon now. Everyone seems to know about “crepes” – or do they? However, crepes are legion throughout the world. Crepes are made throughout Europe, Eastern Europe,…

Saucijzenbroodjes (Dutch Sausage Rolls)

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 2, 2022

The history of sausage rolls goes back centuries. Meat was wrapped in dough as far back as the ancient Romans and Greeks. However, “sausage rolls” per se didn’t come into existence until the 19th century in France (although other countries have claimed to design the sausage rolls first). The first published mention of the sausage…

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.
