Description
A bakerís dozen is 13 items instead of 12, a tradition dating back to medieval England when bakers added an extra loaf to avoid punishment for underweight bread offering a curated set of 13 recipes and preparations that reflect the staples and cooking methods of the era. These dishes would have been staples for both genteel households and average families, adapted to local ingredients and available tools.
