An early European recipe for rice found on Kitchen History
Anje who runs Kitchen History writes: This recipe comes from a book called Two Fifteenth-Century Cookery-Books, which was published in 1888.

Launched in 1934, Solo is the top favorite beverage with its bright yellow color and refreshing taste, using real orange juice as a basis.

Time for a truly traditional Swedish dish here on RecipeReminiscing now.

But today Beef á la Lindström is considered to be an ultra classic Swedish dish, and at the Witt Hotel in Kalmar where Mr Lindström first introduced it about 150 years ago it’s still on the menu every day.
