It was said to be an invention of Mary the Jewess, an ancient alchemist and traditionally supposed to have been Miriam, a sister of Moses. The name comes from this tradition: balneum Mariae in medieval Latin, from which the French bain de Marie is derived, although, in the French wikipedia the coinage of the term is attributed to the medieval German philosopher, theologian, and chemist/alchemist Saint Albert the Great (1193-1280).<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain-marieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-88480391899326862502007-02-02T10:44:00.000-08:002007-02-02T10:44:00.000-08:00You're right about Sharon Herbst's really valuable...You're right about Sharon Herbst's really valuable contribution to food lit.
