[Sca-cooks] Turksih delight

[Gretchen R Beck]

Haven't tried it but

page 88 of http://books.google.com/books?id=l0QCAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false Economical Cookery English, French and Turkish (by LADY STYLE) has a recipe that uses wheat starch.

I don't think Turkish Delight was invented before the 18thC, so I'm not sure about the concern for pre-1492.

Does anyone have a recipe for Turkish delight that is not based on
cornstarch?  Assuming that cornstarch was not available before 1492.



Thanks,

Thea
