1 tbsp light corn syrup

syrup and rum. Place torte upside down on a rack over tray to catch
excess glaze. Spread a very thin layer of glaze over top and sides of

remaining glaze to thin and pour over top and sides of torte. When
glaze is firm, remove cake from rack to large plate. Decorate top and

The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices caused a torrent in recipe books, many of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books are highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
