Gateau Savoyard aux pommes de terre et lard (Savoyard cake with potatoes and bacon)

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.February 28, 2023

Gateau is the French word for cake. This recipe is a very unique take on the concept of “cake”. The history seems to suggest that the Savoyard cake with potatoes and bacon was a fairly recent creation. It is a Tartiflette from the Savoy region that originated in the valley of Aravis. This is the…

Galette des rois

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.February 27, 2023

Puff pastry with an almond filling, what is not to like? The galette des rois is such a desert. The history of this dish is a bit convoluted but fascinating, and I hope I am stating it accurately. Its roots take place in western Gaul with the Carnut peoples. Once occupied by the Roman’s, they…

Ravioles de homard et St. Jacques

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.February 24, 2023

This is a fascinating, unique and delicious dish, that I first saw in Michel Roux Jr’s book The French Kitchen (which I highly recommend). Recipes in French abound on the web and are all different. However, trying to find some history on this dish was challenging. Regardless, it will wow your guests both visually and…

The Chalet – A Gourmet Experience.

Wrap Up the Interviews, Wrapping Up Culinary TravelsBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.February 22, 2023

I recently was working in Monticello Kentucky and stayed in Somerset Kentucky. The restaurant scene is modest, but one clearly stands out far above the others when it comes to “a gourmet experience” – The Chalet. I have eaten at this restaurant multiple times during my stays in Somerset, excellent ambiance, wonderful food and very…

Vareniki Ukranian Dumplings

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.February 12, 2023

Dumplings in Eastern Europe, and around the world, are ubiquitous and have very different fillings country by country. Dumplings are boiled, fried, steamed and put in soup. However, dumplings from Eastern Europe are very similar, and confusion enters when trying to determine who developed the first dumpling in a given country or region. Russian and…

Honey baked ham and cheese in tortilla pinwheels

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 6, 2023

I have only done 1 previous tortilla pinwheel. However, these pinwheels are a great appetizers. I use honey baked ham, which I love. Purchase a good quality ham and bake it using a glaze. I like my ham done until it becomes a dark brown on the surface. Sliced thinly this type of ham works…

Bacon, Cheese and Puff Pastry Wheels

Wrapped Foods RecipesBy John Peppin, D.O., F.A.C.P.January 5, 2023

These wheels are a delicious creation that will wow your guests. Puff pastry is a wonderful creation that puffs up brown, flaky and delicious. Pepperidge Farm makes a great puff pastry that you can find frozen in your gorcery. Making puff pastry from scratch is lots of work and I usually like to make things…

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.
