Ingredients
2 cup crabmeat
4 large baking potatoes
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 ground pepper to taste
1 cup dry vermouth
2 tbsp low-fat plain yogurt
2 tbsp sour cream
1/4 cup half and half
3/4 cup gruyere cheese
Directions
Clean and bake potatoes. Cool slightly and cut in half, lengthwise.
Place pulp into bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch shell. Reserve skins and
mash pulp. Melt butter in skillet and saute onion until it takes on a
light coloring (about 15-20 minutes). Add mushrooms and saute
another 5 minutes. Add the crabmeat and pepper. Add vermouth and
bring to a boil. Make sure you stir frequently. Cook mixture until
liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and add yogurt and sour cream,
then add half and half. Combine crabmeat, onion mixture, pulp from
potato, and about 1/2 of cheese. Add additional ground black pepper
and a bit more half and half if desired. Place the mixture into the
potato skins. Sprinkle with additional 1/4 cup cheese. Bake at 400
degrees F. until cheese bubbles. This is yummy good!

The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later, there are a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
