tablespoon of one of the following mixtures on each.
Fold over the dough into a triangle. Press edges

water or soup 20 minutes, or until they rise to the
top. They can then be fried or served immediately in
the soup. Makes 24 or more, according to how thin you

center. Drop eggs, water and salt into it. Work the
four with one hand and knead until smooth and elastic.
Roll and stretch the dough as thin as possible. The
thinner it is, the better the noodles. ***STOP HERE
FOR KREPLACH RECIPE*** Let the rolled dough stand
until it feels dry to the tough, but don't let it get
too dry. you can cut the dough into squares, strips
or very narrow noodles. For narrow ones roll up like
jelly roll and slice as thin as possible. Shake until
they separate, and let dry very thoroughly. Cook the
amount you want in boiling salted water or soup for
about 10 minutes. Keep the balance in tightly closed
jars.

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two interesting books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of those days. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
