In Catalan cuisine, crema catalana ("Catalan cream") or crema cremada ("Burnt cream"), is a dish that is similar to a crème brûlée; the desserts have been called "virtually identical".[1]
Preparation
The first known recipe for crema catalana appears in the Catalan cookbooks Llibre de Sent Soví (14th century)[2] and Llibre del Coch (16th century).[3] The first of these was published three centuries before recipes for the French crème brûlée. The recipe included a custard cream, over which sugar was poured and subsequently burnt with a hot iron rod, creating the characteristic burnt crust. Some differences between the crema catalana and crème brûlée include the cooking method and subsequent consistency; the French give aroma with cream and vanilla, while the Catalan do so with milk, cinnamon and lemon zest.[4]
Crema catalana recipes include variants created in other parts of the world,[5] but inherent to the dish is the key flavourings: the custard is flavored with lemon or orange zest, and cinnamon.[4]
History
Analogous recipes appear in 17th century Spanish cookery books, usually under the name of Cream of Saint Joseph ("Crema de san José"), since it was a traditional dessert served during Saint Joseph's Day, although nowadays it is consumed at all times of the year. The recipe was referred to as crema catalana (Catalan cream) for the first time by the Spanish friar Juan de Altamiras in his 1745 cookbook, where the recipe was said to be of Catalan origin.[6] However, there are claims that Altamiras got his recipe during his stay in the Portuguese city of Monsaraz, Alentejo in his youth.[citation needed] The burnt sugar topping is documented in 1770.[6]
