Each month, as I work on recipes for our live cooking demo, I try to research the history of some of the ingredients or dishes. Here's what I learned about Mince Pies. 🥧 They are popular in the UK, but actually originated out of the middle east, brought back during the crusades 🥧 They are also called mincemeat pies because they often used meat, such as mutton 🥧 They were primarily savory and modern recipes are more sweet in taste 🥧 They have rum, whiskey or brandy in the mince, which may be why they are popular holiday treat and the most interesting one.... 🥧 Tradition calls for making a wish before you eat your first mince pie of the season. What will your wish be? Join us Sunday for a cooking demo where I take this historic holiday treat and put some ayurvedic twists on it. https://www.skool.com/blissful-living-academy-4719/classroom
