NOTES:
These cookies are great. They are very sweet though. I've only used
an egg white when I've made these. Also, the dough is kind of
crumbly. I ended up kind of forming them with a spoon and my hands
into little balls. My experience was that they only took about 8
minutes to bake. I let them cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes
before easily moving them to cooling racks. The dough makes them
look like they're not going to turn out, but I was pleasantly
surprised the first time I made them. You won't be able to tell that
they're low calorie and low fat. ENJOY! Let me know if you like them.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in Sumerian describing 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 exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans made use of many spices, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
