Ingredients
1 filling
2 cup strawberries
1 tbsp quick cooking tapioca
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 juice of 1 lemon
2 cup blueberries
1 pastry for 9-inch pie crust
1 topping
3 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tbsp brown or granulated sugar
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup shredded or flaked coconut
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut strawberries into 1/4-inch-thick
slices and place in a large bowl with remaining filling ingredients.
Stir well to evenly distribute tapioca and sugar. Let stand for 10
minutes to allow tapioca to soften a little.
2. Meanwhile, roll out pastry and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim
and finish edge as you like. Do not prick. Set aside or refrigerate
until ready to use.
3. Prepare topping by measuring flour and sugar into a small bowl.
Stir with a fork until well blended. Using your fingertips, rub
butter into flour mixture until it is the size of small peas. Gently
stir in coconut. Set aside.
4. When fruit filling has sat for 10 minutes, turn into unbaked pie
shell. Bake on bottom rack of preheated 400 F oven for 30 minutes or
just until filling starts to bubble and edges of pastry are a light
golden color. Then sprinkle topping over centre portion of pie,
leaving a 2-inch border of fruit showing around edge. Reduce heat to
350F. Bake for another 15 to 18 minutes or until topping is golden.
5. When baked, transfer pie to a rack to cool for about 15 minutes.
Serve pie warm of at room temperature.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the baking 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 blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs, including some familiar names like basil, mint and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
