Brussels Sprouts Gratin Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb brussels sprouts
2 oz bacon
1 tbsp unsalted butter for greasing grati, n dish
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh bread crumbs
4 tbsp unsalted butter, in bits

PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F. Prepare the brussels sprouts by cutting a thin
slice off the root end of each and then cutting an X in that end so
it cooks evenly inside and out. In a large pot of boiling, salted
water, blanch sprouts until they are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Drain, refresh in ice cold water, and drain again. (Do not let the
sprouts sit in water for more than a minute.) Saute bacon until limp,
not crisp. Drain and coarsely chop. Mix the sprouts and bacon
together and spread the mixture in a buttered gratin dish. Pour cream
over the sprouts-bacon mixture and dot with bread crumbs and butter.
Bake for 20 minutes or until hot.


Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes

Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into history, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and parsley.

Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time.

The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now.
