: minced
3/4 lb fresh shrimp -- peeled,
: cleaned, and
2 TB parsley -- minced
3 TB flour
1 c milk
: Salt and pepper to taste

5 baking potat peeled and

2 TB butter -- room temperature
1 c milk
4 TB Parmesan cheese -- freshly

1/2 ts parsley -- minced
1 ts baking powder
2 TB flour
3 eggs -- separated

To make the filling, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and saut=E9 the
onion and pimiento until they are soft. Add the shrimp and continue
to cook just until the shrimp turns pink. Stir in the minced parsley
and set aside.
In a saucepan melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and stir in the
flour. Using a wire whisk, gradually stir in the milk. Cook over low
heat until the sauce is thickened. Stir in the shrimp mixture and
correct the seasoning. Cool to room temperature before filling the
potato roll.
To prepare the potato roll, boil the potatoes until they are very
tender. Drain and mash them. Mix in the butter, 3/4 cup of the milk,
the cheese, parsley, baking powder, and flour. Lightly beat the egg
yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup milk and add to the potato mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Beat the egg whites until they hold
soft peaks and fold them into the potatoes. (This is a dish typical
of Brazil which can be made ahead and baked just before serving.)
Line a jelly-roll pan with foil and butter the foil well. Starting in
the center, spread the potato mixture on the foil with a rubber
spatula. It may not completely fill the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for
about 25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Remove from the
oven and carefully invert onto a damp tea towel. Cool for 5 minutes
and then carefully peel off the= foil.
To assemble the rocambole, carefully spread the cooked potato with
shrimp filling, and, using the towel as a helper, roll up, jelly-roll
style. Serve warm, cut in 1 1/2-inch thick slices garnished with
cilantro sprigs.

The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving on, we find two interesting recipe books published in the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the nobility of that period. During the following few centuries, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
