词汇 | charlotte russe |
词源 | charlotte russe; apple charlotte. Marie-Antoine Carême, the greatest chef of his day, created a lavish pastry that he called the apple charlotte, after England’s Princess Charlotte, George IV’s only daughter. The master chef apparently could not forget Charlotte, for while serving Czar Alexander in Russia, he creat- ed a jellied custard set in a crown of ladyfingers that he named the charlotte russe in her honor. Carême’s creations were so valued that it is said that they were stolen from the table at the court of George IV—not to be relished at home, but to be sold in the market at high prices. See carême. |
