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.

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

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans used a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
