Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Croûte along with all the Croûte containing recipes presented on this site, with 4 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Croûte recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Croûte as a major wild food ingredient.

A croûte is literally a crust. Generally this is pastry that's used to entirely cover and wrap the food, as in boef-en-croute or it can be fried bread, as in the Scotch woodcock. Originally this developed as a baking method where the baker could cook the meat along with the bread in the same oven. The pastry case prevented the meat from being over-cooked and was discarded before eating. These days, both pastry case and meat are eaten together.
