Make the chicken soup from a well-grown hen with pieces of meat,
skinned and boned, left in. The pieces should be fairly large; this
is a main- dish soup. *The rice should be cooked in the soup.
Peel and slice the avocados, and cut into 1" pieces. The chiles are
best chopped fine in a blender. Halve the limes.
Pour soup into hot earthenware cazuelas, or onion-soup pots, and
spoon on the uncooked topping. Serve with hot tortillas.

The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
