Directions
Re "Lazy" - this was based on a recipe posted by Michelle Bass,
Cooking Echo, Sept 17/93. I was too lazy to bake the potato, beat
the egg white or make the sauce.
Mash potato and allow it to cool. Mix with lemon juice, seasonings,
onion and then mix in the salmon. Mix in beaten egg.
Form the mixture into 4 patties or 6 smaller ones. Heat a large saute
pan over medium heat. Spray or wipe with canola. Fry the cakes for 5
minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedge.
Makes 2 servings for hungry eaters, 3 smaller ones.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient cooks used many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, there were two interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. |
