dish. Blanched sugar snap peas, sauteed mushrooms, or cubes of cooked
butternut squash are delicious.
1. Remove chicken from crockpot with a large slotted spatula or
slotted spoon. Strain liquid; if time permits, place strained broth
in refrigerator; when fat congeals, remove the fat, discard, and save
the broth. If making Chicken and Noodles immediately, place strained
broth in fat separator (this is a container that collects the fat and
pours out the lean juices through a spout that's connected at the
bottom); discard fat left in separator.
2. Place juices in saucepan and reduce by one third. Add carrots and
cook on high heat until carrots are cooked tender-crisp, about 1
minute. Remove from heat and add peas and thyme; set aside.
3. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions until
cooked al dente. Drain. Combine noodles and chicken broth mixture.
Remove chicken from bones and skin, tearing into bite-size pieces;
add to noodles. Add green onions and parsley. Season with freshly
ground black pepper and salt to taste.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like bay, rue and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
