Origin of the word ramekin

The word "ramekin" is derived from the French word "ramiqu kin," which was coined by French chef Raymond Oliver in the 1950s. The word is a combination of the French words "ramique" and "quinquempoix," which were the names of two types of decorative containers used in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, respectively. The term "ramique" referred to a type of small, deep dish that was often used to serve jellies or compotes during the 13th century. "Quinquempoix," on the other hand, referred to a similar-looking container that was used to serve sauces during the 16th century. Raymond Oliver coined the term "ramekin" to describe the small, oval-shaped metal or ceramic dish that is commonly used in cooking today. It is typically used to cook or hold ingredients that are cooked separately and then served as individual portions. The term "ramekin" has since become widely accepted in English and is used in culinary circles around the world.
