The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of interesting books from the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were in great demand, due to better eduction, more free time and having more money. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Aunt Lillie's Lake Shore Dinner recipe.
