The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful. As we move on, we have a couple of books published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of that time. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Auntie Anne's Pretzels recipe.
