When I get invited to a bar-b-q, my favorite things to bring are
portobello mushrooms and corn on the cob. They're easy to deal with.
Marinate the portobellos in balsamic vinegar for an hour beforehand
and then throw 'em on the grill like burgers. I remove the stem and
cut slits on the cap. In a group of non-vegetarians, the sight of 5"
diam. mushrooms on the grill is a conversation-starter.

The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, rue and parsley. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
