Melissa Mierau's notes: It really foamed when the dry ingredients
were added to the wet, sort of like peanut brittle. Then with further
stirring it thickened up. They baked into a real nice cookie but only
made about 2 dozen (using teaspoon for scoop instead of ice cream
scoop). I will double recipe next time! From: Melissa Mierau Date:

The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations created an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
