The article is devoted to the study of everyday life at the court of King Philip II of Spain. The author focuses on the desserts of the Mediterranean cuisine of the second half of the XVI century, in particular, marzipans. Marzipans are a traditional Christmas treat of the countries of the Mediterranean basin. Recipes for its production are included in the culinary collections of the XIII–XVII centuries many countries of Western Europe: Spain, Portugal, Italy, England. Its composition is simple-almonds, sugar, rose water, but it was these ingredients that made it a status dish. The painting «Royal Feast» by Alonso Sanchez Coelho shows the serving of this dish at the court of King Philip II of Spain. The marzipan pie/cake is exquisitely decorated. The painter shows the intimacy of what is happening, and at the same time the family unity at the table, where among the dishes there is also marzipan. The canvas by Alonso Sanchez Coelho allows you to recreate everyday life at the court of Philip II, where among other markers of the social status of the elite of Spain, marzipan also acts.
