I saw this drawing of Louis XIII in 1627 at Siege of La Rochelle so i draw him! I find him so cute

Guys, sorry for my absence, I was busy serving omelette for King Louis XIII's birthday on Sep 27th, here's the proof 🎉

I guess drawing him being genuinely happy with some comfort food has officially become my coping mechanism sorry not sorry

Louis XIII and his cooking adventures 🍴🥞

When it comes to our Louis XIII cult, I often refer to the king's iconic omelettes, but what about his other stuff? For example, he really loved sweets (like beignets or jams), but could he also cook them? The answer is YES, and that's not even all yet!

Louis was a curious child who's head was already filled with various interests and cooking became one of them when he was only ten years old at the time (which is quite unusual for a king). First ever case of the king cooking was recorded on february 11th of 1611, when he was preparing milk soups for the Duchess of Guise / Catherine of Cleves. So milk soup, most likely, could be Louis' very first dish made by himself!

Of course many kids have a sweet tooth and our precious omelette king was not an exception which I guess is why he started to learn how to cook mostly from recipes of sweets. Also, take a shot every time I say "sweets" or "cooking" (don't..) 🕊️

So, among 17th century royal sw- *ahem* DESSERTS we had in our menu – a jam, quince jelly, beignets (basically french donuts) and marzipans. In a well-known, among many of y'all Louis stalkers, journal of his doctor Jean Héroard I found some clear evidence of Louis XIII cooking some of these himself, so here it is feat. me periodically panicking over my own translation because my half-french friend is too busy atm and I don’t wanna bother them:

June 6th, 1611 — «He walks through the corridor from the study to the paneled gallery where he had an oven for making jams, he is amused to see how it's done.» I know it's not exactly him cooking, but I just wanted to leave it here :")

October 15th, 1612 — «Madame comes to see him; he has fun making jam with Mademoiselle de Vendôme»

January 29th, 1613 — «He often has fun making almond milk and marzipans at Madame's house.»

March 6th, 1615 — «It was very cold; he goes to the kitchen, makes omelettes, beignets, fried eggs; it was he who made them and ate a little of that he tasted.» Pretty sure the last few words could be translated better because it's always rather my terrible french or a little confusing way of Héroard's writing, so feel free to correct me.

February 3rd, 1616 — «He is preparing a small snack of dry jam for the queen, who must come to him at two o'clock. After going back to bed, he happily forms various battalions of his little silver men.»

February 5th, 1622 — «He leaves Saint-Germain, goes to Pontoise, where he enjoys making and eating beignets; while dining at Cormeille, he suddenly goes to the goblet in which he makes little cream puffs.» The original text says «petits choux au lait» and I have no idea what could that exactly be, but it seems like some sort of little éclair-like buns made of milk? Little cream puffs?? Maybe by «choux au lait» Jean meant «choux à la crème» which were invented back in 1540 in France.

I know you've been waiting for the quince jelly too, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything about the jelly :c Though, judging by what we've got here It's still quite possible Louis could cook quince jelly as well, hmm... Anyways, if you know something I don't know of the jelly mystery, hit me up!

In the future, this great love for desserts will be inherited by his son Philippe I, Duke of Orléans (brother of Louis XIV), who is also a very interesting character in history!!

In conclusion I must say that Louis not only had a sweet tooth, but also a big love for trying out different things, all this curiosity and pure excitement, even when it comes to something so simple and familiar like food, will never ever stop to fascinate me :"D

Btw speaking about Louis 'trying out different things', I of course still have a lot to share on this as well! Stay tuned and have a good day/night 💘💘💘

The Siege of La Rochelle: A Battle of Kings and Frenchmen

Another one of my articles was released! I’m super proud of this one. French History is fascinating, and I couldn’t help myself from referencing The Three Musketeers! I hope you enjoy :)

Les Trois Mousquetaires, Chapter 22

After eight days of preparations (who cares about war or the people of France when there’s a party happening) the ball is about to go down in the Hôtel de Ville.

The King and Queen arrive hours before the event starts, both looking stressed and sleepless, and the King is Not Amused to see that the Queen is NOT wearing her diamond necklace. She claims she was afraid of losing it, but she can have someone go and fetch it.

The Cardinal casually mentions to the King that he should make sure to count the diamonds on the necklace. Not sus at all.

The ball starts and the Queen, suddenly looking confident and splendid, arrives wearing the diamond necklace. And - surprise! - it has all twelve diamonds; none are missing.

The Cardinal:

D'Artagnan finds himself being rewarded for his efforts when a hand that he assumes belongs to the Queen reaches through a tapestry and gives him an expensive ring that he puts on his finger.

There's one last little encounter with Constance and the promise that they'll meet again before the chapter closes.

Mission accomplished, d'Artagnan!

Look at Milady's little dagger!

Anyone else wishing that these were tiny, collectible figurines?
