2 tbsp unsalted butter
8 slightly underripe bananas
3 juice of limes
3 tbsp light brown sugar
Directions
This recipe calls for slightly underripe bananas because, as they
cook, they'll soften up quite a bit. Lime juice keeps the bananas from
discoloring, so they are easily made ahead through step 3. The sweet
and tangy combination is just right served after your jazzy meal.
1. Preheat oven to 375'F.
2. Butter a shallow baking dish; reserve remaining butter.
3. Peel and layer bananas in the buttered dish and drizzle with lime
juice.
4. Sprinkle with sugar and dot bananas with remaining butter. Bake
for 30 minutes, basting once or twice with sauce. Remove bananas from
dish carefully with a long spatula. Serve hot, with sauce spooned on
top.

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a torrent in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
