Ingredients
2 lb white beans, cooked
1 large can tomato sauce
2 tspps onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp sage
1 tsp chili powder
Directions
All in all, a rave review soup even from "Mr. I Hate
Soup", himself. I often cook my beans in a crock pot,
but when I am in a hurry I use a little multi cooker
pot. It was sold as a deep fryer, but for obvious
reasons I don't use it that way anymore!! :-)

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving on, we have some interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of that time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
