2 bananas (not over-ripe)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg - more if desired

The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. |
