3 cup popped popcorn, unsalted
2 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
One cup at a time, grind the popcorn in a blender at low speed until
it's fine. The goal is 1-1/2 cups of finely ground popcorn.
In a medium bowl, beat 2 egg whites on high speed until soft peaks
form. Make a meringue by gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar; beat until
egg whites are stiff. Next, beat in cinnamon, salt and vanilla.
Gently fold in ground popcorn and 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded
coconut. Place rounded tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheed (or
use parchment paper). Bake at 325 degrees 10 to 12 minutes or until
lightly browned. MM Wrenn

The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few you will know like bay, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the upper classes competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
