with tortilla chips.

and cook until onions are tender.

The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some interesting books published in the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the period. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. |
