1 tsp baking powder
Directions
The cheesecake you are referring to is quarkkuchen. To
the best of my knowledge, the closest thing to "quark"
would be pureed or strained cottage cheese.
Here's a recipe for you. Prepare dough and with it
line bottom and sides of a greased cake tin. Strain
cottage cheese, stir in cream. Add sugar, eggs, grated
lemon peel, vanilla, raisins and cornstarch. Mix flour
and baking soda and add. Pour batter into dough
lining, top with grated almonds and bake in 375F oven
for about 1 hour. When done, cool cake in a warm
place. Do not chill. CRUST; Mix all ingredients and,
on a bread board, knead to a supple dough. Roll out
and use as instructed in above recipe. In view of the
large butter content of this dough, it should be
thoroughly cooled before baking. FROM: RITA TAULE

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes back into history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are some interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
