Happy holiday everyone! 🙌❤️😊 There has no snow in SoCal... yet the weather is not even that cold, no complain here! But to match this holiday spirit, make our own winter wonderland on the table is just as good as it can be!! As promises, I made beignets and seafood étouffée from our last trip to New Orleans, lobster bisque, herbal roasted chicken and lemon cake! So enjoyable! Wish you all had a great time too! ⛄️🎄🎁 . . . . . . . #americanfood #foodproject #foodhistory #foodhistoryofamerica #聖誕節大餐#foodstyling #foodphotography #foodoftheday #winterwonderlandcake #christmastreat #foodblog #whatsonthemenu #whatsonmytable #whatsonthetable#merrychristmas2018 #winterwonderland❄️ #homebaking#sugarcookies#historyoffood #onmytable #homemadegourmet #artoflife #artistoffood #inthekitchen#christmascookie #retrofood#foodphotographer#happyholidays2018 #foodartistry
Merry... merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🍪⛄️ . I am in love with sugar cookies now... especially the painting with royal icing on the top! So crazily making about 50 in a day! Confession... I wasn’t a big fan of them before, I thought they were too sweet and too colorful that to the point is not natural to me! But now I make them by myself and realize I had mistaken them for so long! 🙅‍♀️glad it is better late than never, surely I will make more of them in the future! Tell me picture 1 or 2 you like? 😉happy holidays!!! . . . . . . . . #americanfood #foodproject #foodhistory #foodhistoryofamerica #foodjourney #foodstyling #foodphotography #foodoftheday #photooftheday #christmastreat #foodblog #whatsonthemenu #whatsonmytable #whatsonthetable#merrychristmas2018 #homemadecookies#homebaking#sugarcookies#historyoffood #onmytable #cookieartist #artoflife #artistoffood #inthekitchen#christmascookie #retrofood#foodphotographer#happyholidays2018 #foodartistry
There are many theories of sugar cookies. We can trace all the way back to the 1700s to a group of German Protestant settlers in the colony of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The settlers created a “round, crumbly, butter cookie” which required only the most basic baking ingredients: sugar, butter, flour, eggs, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and was easily shapeable. They call it Jumble, a biscuit that gained popularity in the 17th and 18th century in Europe chiefly because of the fact that, as a non-leavened food, it could be dried and stored for many months. However, when word started spreading throughout Europe in the 17th century and later when they were introduced to the Americas, some entertaining terms were employed to describe these small treats. The likeliest ancestor was actually the creation of Dutch settlers in New York, a little thing they called a “koekje” — pronounced “cookie” — which meant simply “small cake.” 🎄🍪🥛 . . . . . #americanfood #foodproject #foodhistory #foodhistoryofamerica #foodjourney #foodstyling #foodphotography #foodoftheday #photooftheday #christmastreat #foodblog #whatsonthemenu #whatsonmytable #whatsonthetable#historylover #homemadecookies#homebaking#sugarcookies#historyoffood #onmytable #foodielove #artoflife #artistoffood #inthekitchen#christmasisaroundthecorner#retrofood#foodphotographer#christmas2018#foodartist
