Ingredients
1 potatoes, cooked, peeled,
1 3/4-inch dice
1 cumin seeds
1 black mustard seeds
1 sesame seeds
1 salt
1 cayenne
1 lemon juice
Directions
There should be equal amounts cumin and black mustard seeds, and
plenty more sesame seeds. Only a little lemon juice - it has a
strong flavor. Cayenne has an _extremely_ intense flavor, so use it
judiciously. Heat some oil in a pan. When hot, throw in all the
seeds. When the black mustard seeds begin popping, throw in the
potatoes and other spices. Cook until the potatoes are as done as you
like them.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the cooks of his times used many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs caused an explosion in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular due to better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
