This engraving from the 18th century Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable table setting known as "Mesa de 60 cuviertos Arte de reposteria en que se contiene todo genero de hacer dulces secos, y en liquido, vizcochos, turrones, y natas: bebidas heladas de todos generos, rosolis, mistelas, andc. : con una breve instruccion para conocer las frutas, y servirlas crudas: y diez mesas, con su explicacion" by Juan de la Mata. The intricate details of this print transport us to an era where culinary artistry was celebrated. The centerpiece of this magnificent table is adorned with sculptural decorations resembling a rampart and fortified towers. It exudes grandeur and elegance that perfectly complements the rounded corners of the table itself. Platters made of delicate glass are carefully arranged on the surface while vessels hold an array of tempting sweets such as caramel figures, compotes, cakes, cheese and fruits. What makes this artwork truly exceptional is its comprehensive representation of various dessert-making techniques. From dry to liquid delicacies like vizcochos (sponge cakes), turrones (nougats), natas (creams) and even frozen beverages like rosolis and mistelas - every aspect of pastry creation is captured here. Additionally, there is a brief instruction provided for recognizing different fruits and serving them raw. This mesmerizing engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into the opulence and creativity associated with dining in centuries past. It reminds us that food has always been more than sustenance; it has been an art form meant to be savored with all our senses.
