Get the latest Story recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/story I found this wonderful recipe in my book “Cookies” and I love them not only for the great flavor, I love the story behind the cookies , and this is: “These triangular- shaped pastries are eaten at Purim, the Jewish festival celebrating the story of Esther, Mordeacai and Haman. Their shape represents the hat of Haman, whose plot exterminate all the jews of Persia was foiled” Well, you find this story in the Bible, in the book of Esther. http://www.grouprecipes.com/34324/hamantashen-jewish-cookies.html This is a medieval egg custard pie with almond milk, saffron, cinnamon, and rosewater. It takes some careful attention, but is worth the time and trouble. This is extremely rich! You will want to serve thin slices, much like a cheesecake. This recipe doesn’t take kindly to being halved, though. A variation on a dish featured in "Two Fifteenth-Century Cookery-Books" by Thomas Austin. http://www.grouprecipes.com/26748/daryoles-medieval-custard-pie.html
