The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books from the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich and powerful of that time. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Ancho Ranchero Sauce recipe.
