and place the peach halves in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the

until the peaches are baked through and the filling is a deep golden
color. Serve hot or at room temperature.

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move on, we have two books dating from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the time. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Baked Peaches From The Piedmont recipe.
