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
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in publications on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
