Cream

Cream recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to the 1st century AD. The recipe, which was found in a cookbook called Apicius, calls for a mixture of milk, cheese, and egg yolks.

Cream recipes were likely created as a way to use up leftover milk and cheese, as well as to add a bit of richness to dishes. Over the years, cream recipes have evolved to include a variety of different ingredients, such as cream of tartar, butter, and even chocolate.

Today, cream recipes are used in a variety of dishes, from soups and sauces to desserts and drinks. They can be made with a variety of different creams, including heavy cream, whipping cream, and even sour cream. Whether you like your cream recipes sweet or savory, there’s a recipe out there for you.
