The secret to successful curls is chocolate at the proper temperature,
slightly warm but still firm. On a warm day, room temperature might be
fine. Place unwrapped chocolate bar on cookie sheet. Place in cooled
oven until warm. (Or place in microwave oven on HIGH (100%) 30
seconds or just until chocolate feel slightly warm) With even
pressure, draw vegetable peeler along underside of chocolate; a curl
will form.. Use wooden pick to lift curl onto wax paper-covered tray.
Refrigerate until firm. Use side of b ar for narrow curls. Use width
of one or tow blocks for medium-size curls. Use entire width of bar
of large curls.
NOTE: Chocolate curls can be refrigerated in covered container and
stored for later use.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a torrent in cookery books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
