Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is 'Creme brulee a la lavande' flavored with?

Answer: lavender

'Creme brulee's origins are disputed between the English, the French and the Spanish, but the lavender version is very nice after a meal in a restaurant in Provence. The lavender is a subtle flavoring to the top of the perfect flan.

2. What fruit is used in "Tarte Tatin"?

Answer: Apples

This classic of French cuisine was first served at the Hotel Tatin in the Sologne area of France in the early part of the 19th century.

3. "Gelato" is most closely associated with - and comes from - which of these countries?

Answer: Italy

"Gelato" traces its origins back to the earliest of civilizations; it was further developed in the Renaissance, improved by modern technology and remains deeply rooted in Italy's rich culinary tradition.

4. "Chocolate Lover's Obsession cake" is also known by another name. Which of these is it?

Answer: Molten Lava Cake

This cake is served warm, straight from the oven, with the center still oozy.

5. Flan (as in the American use of the term) creates what kind of sauce when cooked?

Answer: Caramel

The name "flan" is derived from Old French "flaon", which comes from Latin "flado" meaning "custard". According to Alan Davidson, "The Oxford Food Companion", "The same Latin root was used in the Middle English word "flaton", and "flawn" which later became "flan".

6. What flavoring does Tiramisu have?

Answer: Coffee

Stories are told about how Tiramisu was the favorite of a Venetian courtesan, who needed a "pick me up" (the literal translation of "tirami-su").

7. "Buche de Noel" is eaten around what holiday?

Answer: Christmas

The origins of this most famous and delicious of French pastries can be traced back to the ancient Celtic tradition of celebrating the winter solstice. On this day, the shortest of the year, the Celts would search for a large trunk of either oak, beech, elm or cherry and would burn it.

The burning log was a symbol of the "rebirth of the sun" as well as an offering of thanks to the sun for returning to the earth.

8. Depending on recipe, there are many ways to bake a New York cheesecake. Which oven pre-heat setting would however NOT be suitable for making one?

Answer: 190 Fahrenheit

Cheesecakes are smooth and creamy in texture, satisfying to eat and the different flavors make it possible to find one that will suit any menu. Some recipes call for the cheesecake to initially be baked at very high temperatures followed by a longer bake at 250-275�F, others use a single setting of about 350�F. At all these settings, the cooling of the cake after baking should be very slow and gradual to prevent cracking of the surface. 190�F however is just too low.

9. What is "Panna cotta"?

Answer: Cooked cream

"Panna cotta" literally translates from Italian as "cooked cream". These softly set and creamy Italian puddings are so silky-smooth they slip down beautifully at the end of a meal.

10. What are the main ingredients of ice cream?

Answer: Eggs, Milk, Cream, Sugar

The first step towards giving us the kind of ice cream we enjoy today was made by Nancy Johnson (USA) who invented the hand-crank freezer (1846). In the 1920s Clarence Vogt produced the first continuous process freezer which opened up the possibility for commercial ice cream manufacture.�
