1/2 each bell peppers, chopped
1/2 cup onions, chopped
4 oz mushrooms, pieces
1 tbsp sherry
8 oz cheese, jack, shredded
Directions
Chop bell pepper and slice mushrooms, then saute until limp; add
mushrooms and sherry. Cook until all liquid is evaporated.
Add Jack cheese and microwave about 2 minutes. Stir and zap 1 minute
more. Serve with flour tortillas.
Sylvia's comments: I didn't want to dirty a sauteeing pan AND a
microwave pan, so I just melted the cheese in the frying pan on low.
Worked great.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Moving on, there were two interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Cheese Gooey (Quesadillo Flameda) recipe.
