1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 tbsp onion, - chopped
4 cup bread, cubes
1 pinch saffron, (optional)
1/2 cup boiling water
3 each egg, beaten
2 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 cup potatoes, -mashed
Directions
The recipe is from a cookbook I have on Amish and Mennonite cooking.
It calls for a pinch of saffron but because of the astronomic cost of
this spice I have always omitted it when making this recipe. Hope
it's similar to what you're looking for! 1. Melt butter. Add celery
and onion. Cook until tender. Pour over bread cubes and mix well.
2.Combine saffron(if using) and boiling water. Add to bread and mix
well. Add remaining ingredients to bread, mixing well after each
addition. Finished product should be very moist. Add more milk if
necessary. 3. Turn into 2 well greased casserole dishes. Bake at 350
for 45 minutes. Note: I use one 9x13 pan instead of two smaller
casseroles. FROM: GARY SHASTEEN (BKKP14A)

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a surge in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
