6 oz pitted dates
1/2 cup water
REMAINING INGREDIENTS
6 each egg whites
5 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup flour
Directions
Folks--your guess is as good as mine as to how, exactly, to make
these, as well as the number of servings (I took a stab at it).
Was downloading my packet yesterday, when I heard them talking about
this recipe on the TV and quickly ran for paper & pencil. There were
no real clear directions given (or I missed them) so you're on your
own!
Cook the dates and water in a microwave for 5 minutes. Stir. That's
all I heard. I also don't know exactly how many servings, but they
clearly said each brownie was only 110 calories and 0.5g fat.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Moving on, we have two recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of the period. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
