May be one of the most coveted desserts in the entire world : mille-feuille. Despite its popularity, we truly don’t know much about this delicious dessert. Mention of the mille-feuille dates back to 1600s France, when gastronomic chronicler François Pierre de la Varenne wrote about it in an early cook book. A century later, Marie-Antoine Carême, world renowned chef to the aristocracy referred to the mille-feuille as an ancient recipe. During that time, this amazing dessert was beautifully named gâteau de mille-feuilles which translates to a cake of a thousand leaves. Also known as Napoleon, it is really uncertain whether or not it is named after France’s 19th-century emperor or the Italian city of Naples. Basically it is not known if the dessert was originally Italian or French! There is even some suggestion that the mille- feuille owes its layered design, though not its ingredients, to the Hungarian caramelized dessert, Szegedinertorte.
