1 cup milk
1 cup dried mixed fruit
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-bran
1 cup flour
Directions
Soak first four ingredients together for at least 1 hour. Mix the
flour in well, and put into a greased lined loaf tin and bake for
approximately 1 hour at 180C (GM4 375F). The cake is delicious, and
served in slices with a little margarine on. If you wrap it in foil
and keep for a few days (if it lasts that long) the flavour gets even
better. The all-bran is available in the UK as Kellogg's AllBran.
It's sort of little sticks of high-fibre bran stuff. If you can't get
it in the US, I don't know what the equivalent is (not having been to
the US myself).

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
