I've had very good results with the plastic bags of frozen Simply
Potato, a shredded potato that is the only one I could find without
added oil. More costly than shredding your own potato, it saves time
and also makes excellent hash browns (add onions, fry in non-stick
pan, no oil).
Putting a little rolled oats into a blender or coffee mill makes oat
flour in a jiffy. No need to go out and buy and store oat flour.

The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone 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 having made people feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
