One particularly well-known version is the back-of-the-box recipe on thin and dark Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. History The icebox cake is derived from similar desserts such as the charlotte and the trifle, but made to be more accessible for housewives to prepare.

Its popularity rose in the 1920s and 30s, as it used many commercial shortcuts and pre-made ingredients.

Broa
''Broa'' ( or ) is a type of corn and rye bread traditionally made in Portugal, Galicia, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Brazil, however in those countries it is more closely related to cornbread and its original recipe from Native Americans, where it is traditionally seasoned with fennel. ''Broa''(mostly not in Brazil) is made from a mixture of cornmeal and rye or wheat flour, and is leavened with yeast rather than baking powder or baking soda. The name "''broa''" comes from the Gothic or Suebian word ''brauth'' that means bread. In Portugal, ''broa de milho'' is a type of broa listed on the Ark of Taste. This yeast bread has the rustic flavor and texture that suitably accompanies soups, especially '' caldo verde'', a Portuguese soup made with tender kale, potatoes, and ''chouriço'' sausages.

Leavening Agent
In cooking, a leavening agent () or raising agent, also called a leaven () or leavener, is any one of a number of substances used in doughs and batters that cause a foaming action (gas bubbles) that lightens and softens the mixture. An alternative or supplement to leavening agents is mechanical action by which air is incorporated (i.e. kneading). Leavening agents can be biological or synthetic chemical compounds. The gas produced is often carbon dioxide, or occasionally hydrogen. When a dough or batter is mixed, the starch in the flour and the water in the dough form a matrix (often supported further by proteins like gluten or polysaccharides, such as pentosans or xanthan gum). The starch then gelatinizes and sets, leaving gas bubbles that remain. Biological leavening agents * ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' producing carbon dioxide found in: ** baker's yeast ** Beer barm (unpasteurised—live yeast) ** ginger beer ** kefir ** sourdough starter * ''Clostridium perfringens' ...

Palm Wine
Palm wine, known by several local names, is an alcoholic beverage created from the sap of various species of palm tree such as the palmyra, date palms, and coconut palms. It is known by various names in different regions and is common in various parts of Africa, the Caribbean, South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Micronesia. Palm wine production by smallholders and individual farmers may promote conservation as palm trees become a source of regular household income that may economically be worth more than the value of timber sold. Tapping The sap is extracted and collected by a tapper. Typically the sap is collected from the cut flower of the palm tree. A container is fastened to the flower stump to collect the sap. The white liquid that initially collects tends to be very sweet and non- alcoholic before it is fermented. An alternative method is the felling of the entire tree. Where this is practised, a fire is sometimes lit at the cut end to facilitate th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
