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 possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
