Willy Wonka Series; Mug of Chocolate Waterfall

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory· Non alcoholic· Roald Dahl· Willy Wonka

11 Aug

Suddenly, Mr Wonka, who was sitting on Charlie’s other side, reached down into the bottom of the boat, picked up a large mug, dipped it into the river, filled it with chocolate, and handed it to Charlie. ‘Drink this, ‘ he said. ‘It’ll do you good! You look starved to death!’

Then Mr Wonka filled a second mug and gave it to Grandpa Joe. ‘You, too, ‘ he said. ‘You look like a skeleton! What’s the matter? Hasn’t there been anything to eat in your house lately?’

‘Not much, ‘ said Grandpa Joe.

Charlie put the mug to his lips, and as the rich warm creamy chocolate ran down his throat into his empty tummy,

his whole body from head to toe began to tingle with pleasure, and a feeling of intense happiness spread over him.

‘You like it?’ asked Mr Wonka.

‘Oh, it’s wonderful!’ Charlie said.

‘The creamiest loveliest chocolate I’ve ever tasted!’ said Grandpa Joe, smacking his lips.

‘That’s because it’s been mixed by waterfall, ‘ Mr Wonka told him.

-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl

Make Wonka's Chocolate Waterfall the centrepiece for your next Charlie and the Chocolate Factory party!

I figured that so long as we’re a) mixing it and b) it’s warm and creamy, we’re on the right track.

But could you imagine being able to create a chocolate waterfall for a party? Don’t put it past me, I did have some sketches that contained pumps and a table sized waterfall. But I know it’s not realistic for, well, anyone wanting to throw a Wonka party, so I’ve used a more reasonable alternative.

Instagram post 2160946009442381162_143772191 This shortcake recipe called for it to be "cooked in a spider"--- fortunately, not the type you want to run away from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I came across the recipe in The Frugal American Housewives cookbook from 1829 when recreating the Sleepy Hollow recipes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A ‘spider’ was a cast iron or sheet metal pan with long legs to stand over the flames, with potentially a long handle–remembering that in the 1700s to early 1800s when The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was both based and written, the kitchen included an open hearth for cooking. You learn something new everyday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As our kitchens have evolved since the 1800s, I used an oiled cast iron pan. It was unclear from the original recipe how big the cast iron pan would’ve been, so it’s possible the shortcakes were thinner in size than what I’ve created! Either way, my version of the recipe turned out out like a scone and tasted divine with cream on top.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2160221214023123062_143772191 We've looked out over the Hudson River that grounded Washington Irving and wandered the trails of Rudyard Kipling's Vermont.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There seem to be two things that have, if not inspired, at least played a large part of many writers lives-- being around people and being in nature. While being around people provides the backdrop and spark for characters and stories and situations, I can only suppose nature does the opposite. It can quieten everything around you and therefore, quieten inside your head, where, being a creative person, conversations are always happening.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it's been an experience in itself to be where literary figures have been, it's more important to find your own spot, wherever in the world that may be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2158771510341022249_143772191 While not directly related to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, if you're in town on a day that Philipsburg Manor is open, it's a great way of looking back at the period of 1750, when the manor was active as a mill and trading center.  The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was set in 1790, not long after the Philipsburg Manor estate was sold at auction in response to the owners’ allegiance to the British during the American Revolution. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During October they also decorate the space up, so if you're looking for rustic and pumpkin scarecrows, this is the spot! You'll also want to stop by the gift shop to purchase a copy of Tales of The Old Dutch Burying Ground before you head to the cemetery. A fold-out map will keep you from getting turned around.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2158046731766296475_143772191 Carrying on from the Sleepy Hollow apple pie post, if you get a chance, sample some heirloom apples this season. Trying apples that would've been available when The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is set is a really great way of stepping back in time and a way of connecting with your favourite book.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From what I can tell, varieties common during Washington Irving’s day would’ve been the Roxbury Russet, Newtown Pippin and the Rhode Island Greening.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After our visit to Sleepy Hollow, I beelined us over to Brattleboro in Vermont because I found out that @scottfarmvt grows over 130 heirloom apple varieties. Funnily enough, it was only when I was trying to find a place nearby that I realised that Rudyard Kipling once lived in the area (my trip planning is usually the other way round! Literary first, additional stops second). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2157322097903217140_143772191 The all American apple pie can be traced way back to the 1300’s in England. Fortunately, in the 1700’s, when The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is set, they were using sugar and edible crusts, a big jump from the 1300’s where the crusts were merely dishes, and sugar was too expensive to use. The recipe Ichabod would have tasted would have been similar to the ones we eat today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2155872555559056207_143772191 The grandpa of the doughnut, olykoek (also spelt olicook and olykoecks), featured in the Sleepy Hollow feast, has numerous recipe variations. In simple terms, it is a ball of dough deep-fried in hot oil. Some recipes in The Sensible Cook, my go-to book on historic Dutch cooking, suggest that citrus, apples and/or almonds be mixed directly into the dough. However, a recipe found from Albany, New York provided an additional recipe for olykoek that folds raisins and dried citrus soaked in brandy, into the middle of the dough.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2155162576216722894_143772191 Whether you think you know the story of Washington Irving or not, a stop to visit Sunnyside is a treat. 🎃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I understood the impact Irving had on American and global literature, but listening to our guide (dressed in period costume!), really made Irving a real person, something no biography has been able to do for me. And even if you are travelling with someone who isn't familiar with Irving or his stories, they'll be able to follow along just fine (this is always the ultimate test when Jamie and I travel together 😏)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
