A Three Centuries Old Delicatessen:
The meat croquette is probably originally from France. In a cookbook from 1705 “Le cuisinier royal et bourgeois”, (first edition 1691) written by François Massialot (the cook of Louis XIV), there is already a recipe for croquets. Culinary expert Johannes van Dam regarded this as the oldest recipe. This first croquet had the size of an egg. The filling was prepared without béchamel sauce, but breaded, and then fried in lard. The same filling was also packed and fried in dough, just like rissoles. In that form, the dish has existed since Roman times.
The oldest Dutch recipes of croquettes date from 1830 (private collection Johannes van Dam). The oldest known Dutch recipe that appeared in printed form is from the cook of King Willem I in an appendix to the reissue of 1851 of the cookbook "Modern Cookery" by Maria Haezebroeck.
