NOTES:
* Applesauce jello salad -- A delicious jello salad, taken from The
Monterey Coast Guard Officers' Wives Club Cookbook. My sister-in-law
was the president of the club which put that cookbook together.
* Substituting apple cider or apple juice for the water adds
tremendous taste. We prefer homemade chunky style applesauce to
processed commercial brands.

The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of clay 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`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, mint and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. |
