A Renaissance-era turnip and cheese casserole recipe inspired by Leonardo da Vinci
In short: This video demonstrates how to prepare a historical turnip and cheese dish, offering a culinary glimpse into the era of Leonardo da Vinci. It provides a practical, step-by-step guide to recreating a period-appropriate meal using ingredients like long pepper and nutmeg.
The recipe calls for 1.5 pounds (700g) of turnips and 1 stick (110g) of melted salted butter. The dish is seasoned with 'powder douce,' a spice blend consisting of sugar, long pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.
Preparation involves roasting or boiling the turnips until they are soft but not mushy, then layering them with cheese in a greased casserole dish. The assembly is topped with the spice mixture and baked at 400°F (205°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese bubbles.
