WHOLE CHILE POWDER BOOK
Directions
If you are still looking for the sort of ground chile to use in a
chili powder concoction, you should keep your eyes open for Chimayo
and Dixon types of New Mexico chile powder. Pendery's is reputed to
have one of the best selections of chiles and Mexican herbs and
spices in the USA.
Pendery's has a wonderful variety of chilies, chili powders (pure
chilies) and chili powder mixes. They also have some nice spices.
The prices tend to promote quantity buying. 1 lb is only slightly
more than 4 oz.

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
