into quarters, and squeeze gently to squeeze out the juice and seeds.
Blend the tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, dry mustard, and lemon
juice in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour into a bowl.
Blend the cottage cheese and pickle juice until smooth. Beat together
the tomato puree, cottage cheese puree, pickles and egg. Chill to

The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, 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 and blissful. Later, there were two interesting books dating from the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of those days. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
