Directions
Contributed to the echo by: Kathi Crockett Now, I'd better get a
recipe in here before the troups kick me out. Here's a fun and very
easy party recipe for candied nuts: CARMELED PEANUTS Beat egg white
and water until frothy - not stiff. Add peanuts, stir until they are
well coated. Combine sugar and salt then pour this over the nuts &
eggwhite mixture. Bake at 225 on a greased, tinfoil lined cookie
sheet. Stir every 15 minutes for 1 hour.
This makes a nice, big batch and is delicious. You can also use other
nuts. I first started doing this because I was always at a loss as to
what to do with the leftover nuts from Christmas and this certainly
takes care of them in short order. It's one of those recipes where
you can't eat just one.

The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and parsley. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
