2 oz grated cheese (for scones)

1/2 oz grated cheese: pour over fish. Then make scone dough rub 2 oz
butter into 8 of flour with 1 tsp baking powder, and pinch of salt.
Add 2 oz grated cheese, preferably mature Cheddar or a mixture of
that and Parmesan. Drop 1 egg yolk into the mixture and add enough
milk to make a workable dough. Roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
