Recipes: Countries Can Define Their Culture By Food!

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.
Take a moment to think it? Food make an occasion. What
would Thanksgiving be like without a pumpkin pie? Or the
turkey dressing? Would you be able to prepare it without a
recipe? Many people would have to say no.
Even though our diets have changed from those of the first
settlers, basic recipes have continued to survive. But new
recipes are created everyday - low fat, beverages,
desserts, low carb, diabetics, salads, main dish - there is
something for everyone.
Even old-time recipes can't stand up to the temptation of
fast food and pizza. Sometimes it just easier to pick-up
the phone and call a Chinese place rather than light up the
oven and start a 3-course meal. Fast Food places aren't
healthy, but sometimes it's just more convenient. Instead
of ordering, trying cooking up a recipe from Grandma every
now and again.
