The concept of dessert did not exist in Renaissance times, although desserts were eaten by wealthy or on special occasions. The workshop focused on the fascinating history of festive sweet treats of the Medici dynasty. Throughout the lecture were tastings of biscotti, sweetmeats, tortas, quince paste, candied spices, vinum hippocraticum etc. |
