Bringing the Vintage Trend to Dessert: Making Old Fashioned Recipes New Vintage dessert is all about bringing back the old, delicious, rustic desserts. Old dessert recipes can be updated and used for an amazing restaurant dessert of our grandmothers, aunts, and family friend gatherings. They are straightforward and recognizable, compared to gourmet cuisine desserts, yet they do not compromise on flavor, which is proven in their ability to stand the test of time. Though old dessert recipes tend to be thought of as too standard to grace restaurant dessert menus, vintage is currently a hip trend in food, fashion, movies, and music, earning vintage dessert a right to be experimented with. Skeptic chefs can chose to modernize old fashioned recipes by adding unusual flavor combinations to the baked goods. Old Fashioned Recipes for Dessert: Old fashioned recipes make cooking from the garden or with local produce, an ideal solution. Most classic old dessert recipes incorporate fruits. Crisps, cobblers, and grunts are probably the most recognized classic dessert recipes. They involve cooking down fresh produce covered in a sweet crumble or dough, in the oven, to get a dish that resembles a crust-less pie. Typical cakes such as buckles, carrot cake, and red velvet cake are also staples of old dessert recipes. With a little creativity, all these desserts can be plated to look tantalizing and presentable. A strawberry buckle does not have to be served as a slice. It can be layered in a dessert cup with vanilla cream, for an interesting presentation and an added flavor component. Businesses may choose to flaunt the rusticity of a vintage dessert, or try to manipulate the dish to look gourmet. The flavors can be tinkered with to add unusual twists. Having a restaurant garden can come in handy for restaurant desserts in general, but especially vintage dessert, as by combining local produce and herbs from a cooking garden, interesting flavor combinations can be created. Herbs can be used to provide a beautiful garnish for a vintage dessert, as well. They can also be incorporated into sauces, glazes, ice creams, and sorbets to serve on the side of the dish. For example, berry cobbler can be more exciting and restaurant dessert worthy if served with lemon basil ice cream on the side. A cooking garden opens up a multitude of possibilities for brainstorming vintage dessert ideas. Are Old Fashioned Recipes Worth It? Vintage dessert recipes have an advantage of being familiar to most people. However, some customers may find them a bit too classic and boring for a restaurant dessert menu.

The simplicity of vintage dessert recipes make them relatively easy to prepare, and sure to satisfy.
