1 1/2 cup dry shiitake mushrooms
2 large yellow onions
6 stalks celery
6 carrots
1 package quaker quick barley
8 cup water
2 tbsp michelle's chicken style
1 seasoning
1 tsp salt or to taste
Directions
Rinse the shiitake mushrooms and set them aside to soak in plenty of
water. They will need about an hour to soak. Chop the onions, celery,
and carrots. Put the vegetables and Michelle's seasoning in a large
stock pot with the water. When the mushrooms are soft, snip them into
smaller pieces (approx. a square inch each) and drop them in the pot.
Bring the pot to a boil, turn down to simmer. Cook until the carrots
just start to soften. Add barley and simmer for another 10-15
minutes. Taste the broth occasionally while cooking, add salt to
taste and more of Michelle's seasoning if needed.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the early Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and disposable income. |
