5. Serve over Cappelini.
Author's Notes: Here is a kind of throw together recipe I came up
with:
If you are entertaining you can garnish with fresh parsley and serve
with a caesar salad, garlic bread and a nice chablis. The vegetables
can vary. I've used mushrooms, spinach, cauliflower etc. Grouper
works well with this because it has a lot of flavor. I've used fresh
tuna and halibut but prefer grouper.
Difficulty : easy. Precision
: measure ingredients.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an explosion in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
