Albert1434 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I think you Guys missed this part on Sauce Roberts Origins of Sauce Robert The sauce has origins at least as far back as the early 14th century, making it one of the oldest classic sauces. Sauce Robert is mentioned in a manuscript by Guillame Tirel (known as Taillevant). He was a master chef at the French court who wrote "Le Viandier," one of the earliest recipe collections of the Middle Ages. The sauce later was ascribed to a 17th-century cook named Robert Vinot, which may be where it picked up its name. This version is closest to that which appears in Auguste Escoffier's "The Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery" and in recent editions of "Larousse Gastronomique."

Site Administrator Popular Post Valkyrie Posted February 27, 2019 Site Administrator Popular Post Posted February 27, 2019 I have to do a training at work all morning so what happens? I have laryngitis. So I feel sorry for everyone who has to listen to my raspy, croaky voice today. It's also another sucky weather day. We're supposed to get 5-8" of snow. But at least it's only snow and not a snow/ice/rain mix. According to the weatherman, this is the first snow in February that's only snow! On a positive note... the bathroom reno starts today! 4 1 2

Thanks I've had a sore throat all week and haven't been feeling well. Not enough for me to stay home, but enough to make me feel a bit worn down. So of course, it picks today to hit. It's not full-fledged ebola or *gasp* manflu, but more a sinus thing. If I don't feel well this afternoon I'm going to leave early. I probably will anyway so I miss the worst of the snow. 6
