Directions

: (about 2 3/4 pounds total)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice each potato into 1/4 inch
ovals, then slice each oval lengthwise into matchsticks. Coat a
baking sheet with 3 sprays of the vegetable oil. Combine the egg
whites and Cajun spice in a bowl. Add the matchstick potatoes and mix

spread them out into a single layer, leaving a little space in

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Romans used many different herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
