Brownies Recipe

Ingredients

1 each stick butter or margarine
2 each squares unsweetened chocolat
1 cup sugar
2 each eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped nuts


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter and chocolate
together in a large saucepan over very low heat. Be sure you
don't let the butter and chocolate burn! Beat the eggs. Let the
butter and chocolate cool a bit, then add the beaten eggs and all
the other ingredients. Stir together until well blended. Grease
an 8 inch square baking pan and pour in the brownie batter. Bake
for 20 minutes and place the baking pan on a rack to cool. While
the brownies are still warm, cut into squares but don't remove
from the pan until cool. They will be too sticky. Sprinkle with
a little confectioner's sugar if you like. Now don't eat too
many!!

The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the early Romans used many different spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and asafoetida.

As we move on, there were two interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of that period.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a surge in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in academic collections.

By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income.

The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site.
