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
Written recipes as a concept can be observed far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
