The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some stone tablets in 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are two recipe books dating from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the period. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Cabbage Chowder recipe.
