BF: This is the best loaf of light, airy bread that I have made in my
ABM. I wish I could say what ABM Bread book it came from, but I got
the recipe before I was concerned about such things. Never made it
until now.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The TV revolution brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
