3 tbsp olive oil

Skinned, grilled peppers in a garlic and tarragon dressing, arranged
decoratively on a plate, make an elegant, light starter to a meal. Try
using other coloured peppers, too - yellow, purple or white - to vary
the effect.
Wash the peppers and cut into quarters. De-seed and remove the
inedible parts. grill the peppers for a few minutes, skin-side up.
Leave to cool. Now remove the skin, which should peel away easily.
Cut the peppers into strips.
Mix together the garlic, lemon juice, chopped tarragon, and some salt
and pepper and sprinkle over the peppers, trickle the olive oil over
the top and garnish with the sprigs of tarragon.

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
