The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some 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 tried it feel wonderful. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 14th Century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Kugel (Jewish Noodle Pudding) recipe.
