Ingredients
2 lb roast
6 each potato, halved (no need to
3 each onion, peeled and quartered
4 each carrots, cut into 2 length
1/2 cup water
Directions
I, too, love knowing that my dinner is already cooking ~- even on
days that I don't work (outside the home, that is!). I have fallen
into the trap of making two recipes over and over. One or the other
is always simmering when out-of-town guests are expected. (My
husband's family is notorious for showing up later than expected.
Crock pot meals are fabulous for times when you don't know when
dinner will be served!) Put the veggies on the bottom and the meat on
top. Season meat with salt and pepper. Pour water over all. Simmer
all of the above on low all day. Sometimes I add an envelope of onion
soup mix or a small can of whole tomatoes for a variation. The meat
falls apart and is wonderful! FROM: BARBARA NIXON (GKDR92A)

The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
