1 banana, ripe
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tbsp grenadine syrup, optional ice cubes
Directions
"This delicious drink is great for kids who are lactose intolerant
because it tastes very creamy but does not contain milk. Although
optional, grenadine syrup (available in the soft drink section of
supermarkets) turns the shake a wonderful pink.
Peel banana and break into pieces. Place in blender or food
processor. Pour in pineapple juice, orange juice and grenadine syrup
(if using); blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add ice cubes;
blend for 1 minutes or until creamy and frothy.

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
