1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
MAIN INGREDIENTS
1/2 lb bacon, minced
2 cup pork, beef or chicken stock
1 cup honey
5 tbsp orange juice (1/2 orange)

Directions
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepan fry the bacon over high heat until crisp.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in recipe publications, most of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
