Recipes are a true representation of the lifestyles of
our ancestors. Many recipes are handed down from
generation to generation. Where would we be
without recipes? How could grandma share her
favorite dishes? The wonderful taste of her homemade
apple pie would be lost forever. For the most part, as
children we take the food we eat for granted. We do
not really care about the recipes used in preparation,
or even how these recipes came to be. We simply
love the food. Ironically, as we grow, some of the
dishes we grew tired of during childhood, become
dishes we yearn to taste again. Without recipes, this
would not be possible.
No matter where you go, people are always looking
for good recipes. Recipes are one of the most shared
forms of the written word. Books with recipes are the
most frequently created type of book. Recipes have
endured the test of time. Even with fast food mania
rampant in our societies, we still cherish the old-time
favorite recipes. If this weren't true there would not be
so many people making money from simply a book of
recipes.
Recipes bring back enjoyable holiday memories like
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Imagine Thanksgiving
without your favorite recipe for stuffing, or Christmas
without those special cookies? It wouldn't feel like a
holiday.
The food we eat is very different from our settler
ancestors but we still use the same baisc recipes for
cooking corn or preparing beef. Just the use of modern
technology to cook alters they it's now prepared.
But even with all of these recipes available, we still love
enjoy the fast food route. It saves us time when we are
tired, when the kids are cranky or when you have a big day
ahead of you tomorrow and you just don't feel like cooking.
