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
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find some books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of the time. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and rich strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
