Chilli polenta bread, green tea crepe and 50 Most Important Inventions in Food

Rice, lentil and mixed veges garnished with fried onions

Dinner: Pasta, egg and onion

My batch of frozen double chocolate coffee daim cookie dough is almost finished. There’s just enough to make three more cookies. A freezer is such a great invention, it comes in at # 26 in the list of 50 Most Important Inventions (and Discoveries) in Food and Drink (more below). Thanks to the freezer fresh cookies can be ready in 10-12 minutes. I’ve made cookies from frozen dough without preheating the oven, it worked fine.

Today I was supposed to post the recipe for banana jam, it will happen tomorrow hopefully.

The Daily Meal has compiled a list of 50 Most Important Inventions (and Discoveries) in Food and Drink. Heading the list at #1 is salt. We don’t think about it but we probably use salt in just about every meal. Numbers 2 to 5 are fire, knife, spoon and pot, no big surprises here. After # 5 the items start to look surprising – fermentation, mortar and pestle, fish hook, barrel, fruit press, chopsticks... I won’t write out the whole list. Other surprises in the top 50 include the threshing machine, restaurant, recipes, induction cooker, egg carton, squeeze bottle and liquid nitrogen. Teflon comes in at number 43, I thought it would be in the top 10.

  1. I'm with you. Teflon makes my top 10. Sure we need fire, but what condition would my scrambled eggs be without my non stick pan???
