1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan. Cream the
sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light. Add the eggs and
mix well. On low speed, mix in the bananas, milk, and vanilla. Stop
the mixer and add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just
combined, then stir in the mini chocolate chips and nuts. Transfer
batter to prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the
center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan 5 minutes;
turn onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
** NOTE: Mini chocolate chips work better than regular chips because
the regular size ones tend to sink to the bottom of the loaf during
baking.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two interesting books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that time. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
