Did you ever find yourself stirring some ingredients in a mixing bowl, or tossing something into a frying pan and wonder who in the world first put these things together or how we came to know about it?
Somewhere in the distant beyond someone figured out how to bake bread or cook an egg, but who that was is lost to us forever. Nevertheless, there are certain foods whose origins can be traced because someone still remembers when they were first created.
Here is an effort to give credit where credit is due. In the Table of Contents of the Starview Home Page you will find an ever-growing list of foods we have come to enjoy and the stories behind them, with the original recipe, wherever possible. If you take the highlighted links, you will find footnotes from other Web pages which further elucidate the story, as well as popular variations on the recipe.
