Refrigerate crust for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat 1 1/2 cups cream with chocolate in

Remove foil, paper towels and pan sides from cake. Spread cherry
topping over cake. Beat remaining 1 cup cream with 2 tablespoons

The History of Recipes

Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and asafoetida.

Moving on, there are two interesting books which date from the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices prompted an explosion in recipe books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site.
