Traditions
of pastry making in Europe go back to the Mediterranean ancient times – fylo
pastries of the Romans, Greeks and Phoenicians and confectionery of the Egyptians.
Aristophanes’
plays originating from the 5th century contain the mentions of small
pastries with fruit filling. The Romans used dough pastries to cover meat
during the cooking process to preserve some tasty juice, but these pastries
were not eaten. Small pastries containing eggs or young birds were also cooked
to be served during the banquets.
The use of
chocolate arose after it’s bringing from the New World by Spanish and
Portuguese traders in the 16th century.
Pastry-making
also has a strong tradition in Asia – for example, Chinese pastries made of
rice flour, sweet beans, fruits, sesame-based
fillings. Asian pastries differ from pastries in the West and tend to be much
sweeter.
