Bananas Flambees Recipe

Ingredients

3 bananas
3 tbsp butter
1 cup sugar
2 oz rum


Directions

Peel bananas, splitting lengthwise and cutting in halves. Place
bananas in a buttered, shallow, oven-proof baking dish and dot with
butter. Sprinkle sugar over bananas. Bake uncovered at 325'F for
about 35 minutes. Set dish on stove, being careful to keep warm. Pour
rum in a long-handled spoon, which has been warmed by dipping in
boiling water. Set a match to the rum and as it flames pour over
bananas. As it runs down in the dish, ladle it up and over the
bananas until the flaming ceases. The secret of this dessert is to
have all ingredients warm, otherwise it will not flame well.

This old recipe, as good today as years ago, was brought to Louisiana
by a distant relative of Empress Josephine, at whose table this was
often served.

The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and asafoetida.

Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in cookery books, some of which are now in private libraries.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now.
