The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into the far past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later, we have a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the time. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Barbecue Sauce (Prodigy) recipe.
