Ingredients
9 cup blueberries
1 grated rind of 1 lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1 pinch salt
2 each refrigerated pie crusts
2 tbsp margarine, cubed
Directions
Put the rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 450øF. Set
aside a deep 9-inch glass pie plate and baking sheet.
Pour the berries in a large bowl and toss with the lemon rind and
juice. Combine the flour, sugar to taste, tapioca and salt in a small
dish. Add to the berries and toss well. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Ease the bottom pie crust into the pan. Pile berries in the pan,
mounding them in the center (they will cook down as the pie bakes).
Dot with butter. Center the top crust over the filling, fold in and
crimp the edges. Cut air vents and place the pie on the baking sheet.
Place the pie in the oven and decrease the heat to 400øF. Bake until
the crust is deep brown and the berries are bubbling (about 1 hour).
Remove from the oven and let cool about 2 hours. (Yeah, right ;+}

The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the upper classes strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
