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
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving on, there were two interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the nobility of the time. During the following few centuries, the upper classes competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
