2 cup packaged coconut
4 coriander seeds

watery and requires more coconut. Yield: 3 cups Container: Wide mouth

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
