3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp ground flax seed, mixed with
2 tbsp water
1/4 cup applesauce
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup flour (use up to 1cup whole
1 wheat ..half ww and half
1 white works best...all ww
1 doesn't cook quite right)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Directions
"Cream" applesauce and brown sugar, add flax mixture. Mash bananas and
baking soda together, add to the other mixture. Mix dry ingredients
together. Stir wet and dry to moisten. Use a 9 x 5 inch loaf ban
(nonstick or sprayed with Pam). Cook at 350 (175C) for about an hour
until it passes the toothpick test.
Note: I usually add some vanilla as well. It's supposed to make 16
servings, but they are paper thin slices--so I'd guess 8-10 real
people servings. I haven't tried freezing it yet.

cookbook.

The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which show 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 people feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting cookery books from the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of those days. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
