200 g butter
1 egg yolk
2 egg, beaten
1/2 cup flour
1 breadcrumbs, dry
1 butter, for frying

equal parts. Roll into sausage shapes seven to eight
centimeters long. Cover each with greasproof paper
and chill until the pieces are very hard.
Wrap the breasts around each piece of butter, creating
four parcels. Dip in flour, one at a time. Shake off
excess flour and pat flat in the palm of the hand.
Dip in beaten eggs and roll in breadcrumbs.
Refrigerate for a few hours. Deep-fry (in butter if
possible) until golden brown.

buckwheat kasha and peas served in small pastry
shells. DO NOT REHEAT this dish or keep warm for
periods of time, as the butter will melt and run out.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich people of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
