Another untried recipe, offered as ransom for recipes stolen,
off-topic postings, and ill received boasting about Texas.......
Recipe quoted from Elena's Secretes of Mexican Cooking, Elena Zelayeta
"This dessert is usually served during Lent. The combination of
cheese and fruits may sound strange, but it's extremely popular in
Mexico and I know many Americans who rave over it.
Boil water, sugar, stick cinnamon an dclove together until syrupy.
Butter a casserole generously and put in a layer of bread or cake
cubes. Cover with a layer of banana or apple slices and sprinkle with
some of the raisins, peanuts, almonds and cheese cubes. Repeat the
layers until all ingredients are used. Remove stick cinnamon and
clove from syrup and pour syrup over
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, there are two interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that period. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Mexican Bread Pudding recipe.
