sugar and salt in a nonreactive saucepan; whisk once to mix and bring
to a boil over low heat. Place remaining 1/2 cup milk in a mixing
bowl and whisk in cornstarch, then eggs. Return milk and sugar
mixture to a boil over low heat then whisk about a third of it into
the egg mixture. Return milk and sugar mixture to a boil once more
and whisk in the egg mixture, whisking constantly until the filling
thickens and comes to a boil. Allow to boil, whisking constantly, for
about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, whisk in butter and vanilla; pour
into a nonreactive bowl. Press plastic wrap against the surface of
the filling and chill until it is approximately 75 degrees. Spread
the cooled filling evenly in the cooled crust. To finish the pie,
whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla until it holds a firm peak.
Use a hand mixer on medium speed or a heavyduty mixer fitted with the
whisk. Spread the cream over the filling, making sure it touches the
edges of the crust all around. Yield: One 9 inch pie

The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books are highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
