1 frozen corn
1 canned kidney beans
1 chopped cilantro
1 onions, chopped
1 balsamic vinegar
1 lemon juice
Directions
My favorite is frozen corn added to a can of kidney beans, chopped
cilantro, chopped onions, balsamic vinegar and some lemon juice. You
can use your imagination after this point. For example, add some
white beans and/or frozen green peas which have been just cooked
slightly, about one minute.

The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an explosion in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
