The Leonard Lopate Show: Lost Dessert Recipes

Lost Dessert Recipes

Some classic desserts have been mostly forgotten...like Chasen’s Banana Shortcake with Banana Sauce, Escoffier’s Mont Blanc, or Lady Jekyll’s Orange Jelly with Compote. Food writer Gail Monaghan has revived some of those bygone treats in her new cookbook Lost Desserts.

What ever happened to Nesselrode Pie? In my childhood, you could easily get it at Krum's in the Bronx and Sutter's there and in Greenwich Village. Heck, you could easily get it anywhere that catered to New Yorkers (here and in Miami) during the war--when restaurant food did not require ration coupons!
