From the Healthy Heart Handbook.
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
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, mint and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
