Let's Celebrate: National Food Day
Monday, December 8th is National Brownie Day Brownie History and Origin: Bertha Palmer, a prominent socialite and wife of the Palmer House Hotel owner, asked the hotel's pastry chef to create a portable, cake-like dessert that could fit in boxed lunches for the ladies attending the exposition. The first brownie was created by a chef in Chicago in the late 1800s. The "Palmer House Brownie," a chocolate square topped with walnuts and an apricot glaze. This original recipe is still served at the hotel today. The first cookbook recipe for brownies was published in 1904. One of my favorite brownies is called a Mississippi Mud Brownie. A combination of white and dark chocolate. 🍫 😋 What's your favorite brownie? Will you be celebrating this Foodie Day?
