Ingredients
1 cup instant oat meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 can frozen apple juice
1 concentrate, thawed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 golden delicious apple
1 egg replacer
1/4 tsp baking powder
Directions
makes 1 8-9" pan full
Cut the apple into bite sized pieces. Mix together everything except
the apples. Put a thin layer (1/8-1/4") of mixture on the bottom of a
non-stick or Pammed round pan. Put apples on top of this. Then spread,
plop, drop or get the rest of the mix on top of the apples *some
way*. Then bake at 350F. I baked it for 25 minutes but it made the
apples really mushy so next time I'll probably only bake it for 15-17
minutes.
I thought this turned out really good. My husband even liked it and
he thinks that there isn't anyway that a fatfree dessert can taste
good. :-) Date:

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced far back into history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times used many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
