Heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 10 inch springform pan. In large bowl,
combine cream, sugar (reserving 2 tablespoons), the eggs, vanilla,
cinnamon, peaches with their syrup, and the banana. Add bread cubes
and let sit until bread has absorbed most of the liquid- 5 minutes.
Pour bread mixture into springform pan and bake on rimmed baking
sheet 45 to 50 minutes or until center springs back when lightly
pressed with fingertip. Cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes. Serve
immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
In small skillet, heat lemon peel, liqueur, water, lemon juice, and
reserved 2 tablespoons sugar to boiling. Cook until mixture thickens-
about 7 minutes. Strain lemon peel; discard liquid. On small plate,
spread lemon peel in single layer to cool.
Prepare Bourbon Sauce: In top of double boiler, over simmering water,
with wire whisk, beat eggs until they just begin to thicken. Slowly
beat in melted butter until well combined. Remove mixture from heat
and beat in confectioners' sugar and bourbon until smooth.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. If sauce has
been refrigerated, slowly reheat until warm.
To serve, scoop some bread pudding into small serving bowls. Spoon
some warm Bourbon Sauce over bread pudding and top all with some
lemon peel.
One of New Orleans' oldest food establishments, Cafe Sbisa was
founded by the Sbisa family in 1899, in what was then the thriving
port and financial district of the old French city. In 1977, the
business was purchased by two local restauranteurs who completely
restored the historic building and reopened the cafe two years later.
The menu still reflects many of the great traditions of "la cuisine
Creole", but has been expanded to include the finest products from
across the United States.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and dill. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
