Directions
I make this cheesecake often, especially in the fall. I don't use
special recipe, just make a plain, New York type cheesecake, but add
apple pie spices like cinnamon and nutmeg (to taste). Then add diced
fresh apples to taste (couple of cups usually). Then top the whole
thing with a streusel topping (butter, sugar and a little flour all
cut up together) like you would put on a Dutch Apple Pie and bake as
the directions for the plain cheesecake suggest.
It is wonderful.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into the far past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
