Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the squash in half lengthwise,
scrape out the seeds, place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake
until soft, about 1 hour.
When cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl
and mash well. Add the tofu and blend thoroughly. In another bowl
beat the egg and egg whites lightly, then add the squash mixture,
spices, honey pepper, and butter. Mix well.
Turn the puree into a shallow 1 quart baking dish. If preparing ahead
to this point, cover the dish with wax paper.
Bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with additional cinnamon,
allspice or nutmeg (or all three) if desired.

The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into distant history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and dill. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
