2 tbsp minced chives

Layer into lunch box in this order. Do not mix. Mix at work and nuke

The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
