Ingredients
1 1 extra large egg
Directions
1/4 c Dry vermouth or dry white
: Wine
1 Clove of garlic
3 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Pesto sauce
1/3 c Plus 2 TBl. water
3 c Bread flour
1 tb Sugar
1 T Salt
2 1/2 Ts Yeast
1/2 c Pine nuts (see note)
Place all the ingredients except the pine nuts in the machine,
program for Raisin Bread, and press start. When the beeper sounds,
add the nuts. Pesto is a pungent Italain sauce made from ground-up
basil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. It used to be available only
in the summer when fresh basil is plentiful. Now you can buy it in
most grocery stores bottled, in the refrigerator case, or even in a
tube. Home made may be the best, but store bought is just fine.

The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing the baking 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the wealthy. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
