Ingredients
3 (to 4 lb). beef brisket
1 water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves -- minced
2 bay leaves
1 head cabbage
1 (cut into wedges)
Directions
Place corned beef in slow-cooking (Crockpot) pot. Barely cover with
water. Add onion, garlic and bay leaves. Cover, and cook on Low for
10 to 12 hours.
If cabbage is desired, lift cooked corned beef out of pot, turn
control to High, and drop wedges of cabbage into corned beef broth.
Cover, and cook 20 to 30 minutes, or until cabbage is done. NOTE:
from past experience, the cabbage will need more time than that.
You'd be better off to put the broth into a pot on the stove and boil
the cabbage a LOT quicker. From Crockery Cookery Cookbook 6-8

The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move on, there are a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of those days. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
