stirring occasionally. Drain shrimp, discarding marinade. Thread neck
and tail of each shrimp onto six 14-inch skewers so shrimp will lie

minutes; turn and broil an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until shrimp
turn pink.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later, there are two books which date from the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
