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
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
