Auld Alliance Recipe


Ingredients

350 g roquefort cheese
1 whisky


Directions

This deceptively simple cheese cream from Overscaig in Sutherland is
delicious served as a cream pate for the first course or at the end
of a meal as a savoury.

Pound the cheese to a thick cream. Add drop by drop as much whisky as
it will 'drink' to make a firm cream.

Pack into small earthenware pots and chill in the fridge for 3 to 4
hours.

Serve with hot buttered toast or oatcakes.

The History of Recipes

It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation 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, we find some recipe books from the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `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 descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of the period.

For the decades that followed, the families of Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
