1 acorn squash (about 1/2 pound)
1 tsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp water
1 apple, cored and sliced (optional)
Directions
Wash the squash, then slice it crosswise into 1/4-inch rings. Remove
the seeds and pulp. Layer the rings in a casserole dish, top with
maple syrup, dust on cinnamon and sprinkle with water. (As an added
touch, slices of apple can be placed in layers alternating with the
squash rings.) Bake, covered, in a preheated oven at 275 degrees for
about 30 minutes. The timing and temperature are not critical, so
this can bake along with other dinner dishes.

The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an outbreak in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
