together and drizzle the mixture over the three still warm cake
layers. Be careful not to let it all soak into one spot.

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs used many different herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
