Chewy Chocolate-Orange Bars Recipe

Ingredients

2 cup cake flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
2 egg whites
1 raisin puree
3/4 cup chopped bitttersweet
1 chocolate
1/3 cup toasted walnuts, optional
1 tbsp grated orange zest


Directions

Raisin Puree is the basis for the dough of this rich-tasting, chewy
bar. The combination of orange and chocolate is a classic favorite. We
considered cutting the amount of chocolate in the recipe, thereby
cut- ting the fat, but in the end we agreed that the extra richness
is worth the extra grams of fat. (By Times Food Stylists) Sift
together flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Stir in oats
and brown sugar. Beat egg whites lightly in another bowl. Stir in
Raisin Puree. Stir into flour mixture along with chocolate, walnuts,
and orange zest just until blended. Spoon in 9-inch-square baking pan
sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray. Bake at 350 degrees F. 25 to
30 minutes. Cool. Cut into 24 bars. 213 calories; 95 mg sodium; 0

The History of Recipes

It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans used a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and asafoetida.

Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an explosion in publications on food, some of which are now in private collections.

The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

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