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.
Place blobs of cookie dough on a greased cookie sheet in the size you
like, and flatten with a fork to make the traditional peanut-butter
cookie pattern. Put in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
NOTES:
* These are very simple peanut-butter cookies -- They turn out a
little moist, but are yummy.
* These cookies are a bit moist, so don't worry about that. Don't
burn them; they don't taste good when they're burnt.

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know like basil, rue and asafoetida. As we move on, there were two recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and being a little richer. |
