into greased and floured tube pan. You may alternate flour mixture
then nut and chip mixture. Or you may combine nuts and chip mixture

The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. He also tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices created an increase in books on cookery, most of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
