EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late Victorian era with this charming and colourful image of Atelettes, a delightful culinary presentation of food on decorative skewers. The image, circa 1890, showcases an array of savoury and sweet delights, each artfully arranged on pointed sticks. The Atelettes display boasts an enticing assortment of shellfish and fish, including plump prawns and fish fillets, their natural colours enhanced by the careful arrangement on the skewers. The vibrant hues of the vegetables add a pop of green to the scene, with striped peppers, zucchini, and asparagus adding texture and shape. The sweet offerings are no less captivating, with crystallised fruit in shades of pink and red, truffles in rich brown, and jellies in various colours adding a bright and playful contrast to the savoury elements. The intricate shapes of the truffles and jellies, as well as the delicate curves of the fruit, add an elegant touch to the overall presentation. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the practical and artistic side of Victorian cookery. The use of decorative skewers to present food in an appealing and visually stimulating way was a popular trend during this era, and this image showcases the beauty and creativity of this culinary tradition. Whether used as inspiration for a modern-day dinner party or simply appreciated for its historical significance, this image is a testament to the enduring appeal of food presentation and the joy it brings to the table.
