Stir together the flour, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl or in the

knife, cut into 2-inch squares. Arrange on a baking sheet. Prick each
square 2 or 3 times with the tines of a fork.

VARIATION: If you want a sweeter cracker, sprinkle the tops with
turbinado sugar. Roll the rolling pin lightly over the tops before
cutting to press in the sugar.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are highly popular due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
