The Challenge: 11. Foods Named After People October 19 - November 1
Beef Wellington? Charlotte Russe? Choose a dish named after a person, either fictional or real, to create. Bonus points if you tell us about the link between the person and the dish!
The Recipe: Queen Esther's Toast from p. 239 of National Cookery.
The story of Queen Esther is fairly well known, but I have no idea what makes this "her" toast. It looked like a recipe for French toast, so I knew it would be yummy. My husband's family background is Jewish so I enjoy experimenting with traditional Jewish cookery, and that's part of what drew me to this dish. This is technically for Purim, which is in spring, but it fit the challenge!
