Recipe: Raspberry Ice-cream, Georgian (Gelado de Framboesas, Séc. XVIII).

6 egg yolks - 100g caster sugar - 300ml milk - 300ml double cream - 150g raspberries.

Beat the egg yolks to a froth with the sugar, add the milk and cream. Cook in low heat in a saucepan, until it has custard consistency. Take of the heat. Smash the raspberries and add the purée to the cream. Let the mixture cool down completely and freeze in a suitable container.

To avoid ice-crystals, I added cling film around the container.

Recipe: Cheese Ravioli, 16th Century (Receita: Ravioli, Séc. XVI).

Take spinach and blanch it as if you were making cooked spinach, and chop it small. Take approximately one handful, when it is chopped, cheese or meat from a chicken or capon that was boiled or roasted. Then take twice as much cheese as herb, or of chicken an equal amount, and beat two or three eggs into it and make a good dough, put salt and pepper into it and make a dough with good flour, as if you would make a tart, and when you have made little flat cakes of dough then put a small ball of filling on the edge of the flat cake and form it into a dumpling. And press it together well along the edges and place it in broth and let it cook about as long as for a softboiled egg. The meat should be finely chopped and the cheese finely grated.
