The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into the far past, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient 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 having made drinkers feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich recipe.
