1 cup peanut-butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
Directions
Beat the egg. Don't let your neighbours find out, though. Mix
everything together. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

cookie pattern. Put in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.

little moist, but are yummy.

burn them; they don't taste good when they're burnt.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. |
