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 recipes as a concept can be traced back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting books which were published in the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
